If something goes wrong
The board price at my branch is higher than everything on this page
- Cause
- Most US McDonald's restaurants are run by independent franchisees who set their own menu prices. Sites inside airports, stadiums and turnpike plazas price above anything recorded here.
- Fix
- Set the McDonald's app to that restaurant and read the price there. The app carries the price for that location, which is what will be charged.
Big Arch has no price in the table
- Cause
- Big Arch reached the US in March 2026 as a limited run and is not on the current menu. The product page for it returns a 404, so no company calorie count and no price could be recorded.
- Fix
- Read the empty row as an absence of evidence, not a low price. Should the item return to the US menu, the row will carry a figure.
The calories on the menu board do not match the ones here
- Cause
- Calories in this table are McDonald's figures for the standard build. Dropping the cheese or adding bacon moves the count, and a board can lag a recipe change by weeks.
- Fix
- Open the item on the McDonald's site and let the nutrition calculator finish loading. That is the current figure for the build as sold.
I want a meal price and this page only lists sandwiches
- Cause
- This section prices burgers on their own so that eleven sandwiches can be compared like for like. Meal figures live on the item pages.
- Fix
- Open the Big Mac page for a meal figure and for the one meal price McDonald's has put its own name to.
Where the money goes in the burger section
Eleven burgers are listed here and ten of them carry a price. The spread is wide. A Hamburger was recorded at $2.79 and a Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese at $8.99, which is the distance between a snack and a full lunch inside one part of one menu. The middle of the section is $5.48, a little under what a Big Mac costs.
Two ladders run through the list. The first is built from the small burgers: Hamburger at $2.79, Cheeseburger at $3.19, McDouble at $3.89, then the Double Cheeseburger, which carries no typical price and was recorded between $3.74 and $6.19. Each step adds a patty or a slice of cheese, and the two steps that can be measured are 40 cents and 70 cents. The second ladder is the Quarter Pounder family, opening at $6.29 for the Quarter Pounder with Cheese and running through the Deluxe at $7.49 to the Bacon version at $8.99. Between the two ladders sits the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese at $6.99, which at 740 calories is the heaviest thing on the page.
Calories are the one column that comes straight from the company. Each figure was taken from McDonald's own product page for that item, where the count is written into the page text. The rest of the nutrition panel could not be read. Fat, sodium, carbohydrate and protein are drawn in by a script once the page loads, so they never reach the plain page source, and nothing has been estimated to fill the gap.
Prices are a harder problem, because McDonald's almost never publishes one. The exception came on 2 September 2025, when the company brought back the Extra Value Meal and named two figures: $8.00 for a Big Mac Meal and $5.00 for a Sausage McMuffin with Egg Meal. Both were flagged as limited-time, and both carried the same rider about prices and participation varying. That rider is the story of this page: restaurants are overwhelmingly run by independent franchisees, and a franchisee sets the board.
So the range column is the one to read. Where the Cheeseburger shows $2.51 to $3.89, the low end is a discount or a cheap trading area and the high end is a busy urban restaurant. A single average hides both. Five rows show a dash because only one figure was recorded, and one figure is not a range.
On price against size, the McDouble at $3.89 for 390 calories is the strongest thing on the list, with the Daily Double the next step up at $4.39 and 490 calories. Past $7 there are only two items, and the extra money buys bacon on one and the Deluxe garnish on the other.
Everything here was recorded from published US listings and checked on 19 August 2026. None of it is a quote. A restaurant's own board, or the McDonald's app set to that restaurant, is the only price that binds anyone.

Questions people ask
How much is a Big Mac at McDonald's?
The typical recorded figure is $5.99, inside a band of $5.79 to $8.39. The company publishes no US sandwich price to check it against. McDonald's did price a Big Mac Meal at $8.00 in September 2025 as a limited Extra Value Meal, noting that prices and participation vary.
What is the cheapest burger on the McDonald's menu?
The Hamburger, at $2.79 typical and $2.69 at the bottom of what was recorded. It is also the lightest at 250 calories. Next is the Cheeseburger at $3.19.
Which McDonald's burger has the most calories?
The Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, at 740 on McDonald's own count. The Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese and the Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe both sit at 630. A Hamburger, at the other end of the section, is 250.
Is this page an official McDonald's price list?
No. HelpMeLogin is independent of McDonald's and publishes this as a price guide. The prices were recorded from published US listings and checked on 19 August 2026, and the calorie figures are McDonald's own. Only a restaurant's board or the McDonald's app gives a binding price.
Can this site tell me the price at my local McDonald's?
No, and neither can any other guide. Each franchisee prices its own menu, which is why these ranges are as wide as they are. The McDonald's app, set to that restaurant, shows that location's current prices.
Where do the calorie figures come from?
From McDonald's own product pages, one item at a time. Macros and allergens could not be read: those tables are drawn by a script in the browser rather than written into the page.
