If something goes wrong
The Hamburger costs more than $2.49 where I live
- Cause
- Nothing fixes it at $2.49. Burger King publishes no US price, so that figure is the centre of listings read in August 2026 and binds nobody who sells the burger.
- Fix
- Treat $2.39 to $2.49 as the ordinary band and $3.69 as the top of what was seen. Then price it in the app with your own restaurant chosen.
A $1.00 Hamburger keeps appearing in search results
- Cause
- That reading dates from 2023, when a dollar tier was running. Retired prices survive online because nothing overwrites them.
- Fix
- Check the date attached to any figure before the figure itself. Anything at $1.00 for this burger is three years stale.
The calorie count looks out of date
- Cause
- It is, and no newer one exists. Every first-party nutrition number for this burger sits in a document the company dated November 2022, which remains the most recent it has issued.
- Fix
- Use 250 as a 2022 company count. Two published listings read this August also returned 250, so the build has almost certainly held.
The one burger here nobody disagrees about
Agreement is rare in this section and the Hamburger has it. Two published listings read this August returned 250 calories. Burger King's own document, dated November 2022, says 250. Nothing found anywhere says otherwise. Eight of the fifteen burgers on the flame-grilled list carry no calorie figure from any source at all, so a row where three separate checks land on the same number deserves a moment.
Price does not behave nearly as well. Four readings this year produced $2.39, $2.49, $2.49 and $3.69, a $1.30 gap on a burger whose middle value is $2.49. That is 52 percent of the typical price, gone on geography. A fifth reading of $1.00 survives from 2023 and reflects a value tier no longer running; it drags the recorded floor down and belongs in the history column.
What's in it
One flame-grilled beef patty, a sesame seed bun, pickles, mustard and ketchup. No cheese. No bacon, no sauce beyond those two. The 2022 panel gives it 250 calories, 10 grams of fat, four of them saturated, 560 milligrams of sodium, 29 grams of carbohydrate and 13 grams of protein. Sodium is the figure worth noticing: 560 milligrams is the lowest of the seven published panels in this section, with the Double Hamburger's 590 the only one close.
Is it worth it
Judged per calorie the Hamburger is not the best buy on the page, which is not a criticism of the burger so much as of how menus are priced. At $2.49 for 250 calories it costs almost exactly a dollar per hundred. The Cheeseburger, thirty cents dearer on its lower middle, delivers 290 calories at 96 cents per hundred, which is the best rate in the section. The Bacon Cheeseburger costs a dollar more again and pushes the rate back to $1.17. Only the first step up from this rung improves on it.
What the Hamburger buys instead is certainty, and certainty is scarce here. It is the cheapest complete row in the section, the only one whose calorie count is corroborated three ways, and one of just five burgers on the list carrying both a price and a nutrition figure. Set that against a Bacon King recorded anywhere between $8.79 and $13.59 with no calorie count of any age attached, and knowing precisely what $2.49 buys starts to look like the point.

Questions people ask
How much is a Hamburger at Burger King?
Around $2.49, from listings read in August 2026. This year's figures ran $2.39 to $3.69, and a $1.00 reading still circulating dates from 2023. The company publishes no price of its own, so none of these is official.
How many calories are in a Burger King Hamburger?
250, by the company's own count. That figure sits in a nutrition document dated November 2022, which has not been replaced since. Two published listings read this August also came back at 250.
What is the difference between the Hamburger and the Cheeseburger?
One slice of cheese, thirty cents and forty calories. Typical readings put the Hamburger at $2.49 and the Cheeseburger at $2.79, while the 2022 document lists them at 250 and 290 calories.
Is this page an official Burger King price list?
No. HelpMeLogin is independent of Burger King and speaks for nobody but itself. The figures above were recorded on 19 August 2026, and the calorie count was read from the company's own 2022 nutrition document.
Can this site tell me the price at my local Burger King?
No, and no page written from a distance can. Most US restaurants are franchised and set their own boards. Open the Burger King app, choose your restaurant, and price the burger there.
