The RER B is from about €13. Roissybus is €16.60, airport coaches ~€18, and taxis a fixed €56 (Right Bank) or €65 (Left Bank).
The RER B reaches Gare du Nord in about 30 minutes and Châtelet in ~35-40 — usually faster than road options.
The RER B, from around €13, is the cheapest single option.
Roissybus or an airport coach store bags and have few stops; the fixed-fare taxi is easiest door-to-door. The RER B has steps and crowds.
The RER B runs until around midnight; after that use the fixed-fare taxi or an Uber/VTC. Some Noctilien night buses also serve the airport.
Buy a ticket from machines/counters or load a Navigo Easy card, or use the Île-de-France Mobilités app on your phone. Keep the ticket until you exit — you need it for the gates.
