$7.99 recorded, 760 calories, and 430 milligrams more sodium than a plain Whopper.
One Burger King Whopper with Cheese price was recorded in August 2026, at $7.99, the thinnest evidence in the family. Cheese therefore costs $1.20 over the lower of the plain Whopper's tied middles and 50 cents over the higher. Calories rise from 670 to 760 and sodium from 1,170 to 1,600 milligrams, both figures published by Burger King in a document dated November 2022. No range sits beside the price, because no second reading exists.

If something goes wrong
The price column shows no range at all
- Cause
- Only one current reading exists for this sandwich. Most price lists fold it into the plain Whopper and treat cheese as a modifier, so there is nothing to average.
- Fix
- Use the $6.79 plain Whopper plus roughly $1.20 as a sanity check. Where the two differ by much more than that, the board is charging a premium for the slice.
Ordering a Whopper and asking for cheese comes to less
- Cause
- Adding cheese as a paid extra and buying the named sandwich are two different transactions at most restaurants, and they rarely land on the same number.
- Fix
- Price both in the app before ordering. Either version produces the same sandwich.
Another list gives 740 calories rather than 760
- Cause
- The single reading available for this sandwich runs about 20 calories below the company count of 760, and that gap has held since the last check.
- Fix
- Take 760 as the first-party figure and keep its age in mind. Nothing newer exists to replace it.
What a slice of cheese costs, in money and in salt
Cheese looks like the cheapest decision on this menu. It is not the cheapest thing you can add to a Whopper, and by one measure it is the most expensive.
Start with money. A plain WHOPPER Sandwich has a tied middle of $6.79 or $7.49 and this version was recorded at $7.99, so against the lower of that pair the slice carries $1.20. For that you get 90 calories. A second beef patty, on the DOUBLE WHOPPER Sandwich, costs $1.30 and brings 250 calories with it. Measured off that lower middle, the cheese runs at roughly $1.33 per hundred calories and the beef at 52 cents, which puts the cheapest-looking upgrade on the menu at nearly three times the rate of the biggest one.
What's in it
The standard Whopper build with a slice of American cheese on top: flame-grilled beef, sesame seed bun, tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles and onion. Burger King's own panel gives 760 calories, 46 grams of fat with 16 saturated, 1,600 milligrams of sodium, 56 grams of carbohydrate and 36 grams of protein. Those numbers come from the company's November 2022 nutrition document, which remains the newest it has published. The one current listing carrying this sandwich puts it around 740, a little under the company's own count.
Is it worth it
Salt is the part worth pausing on. Sodium climbs from 1,170 milligrams in the plain sandwich to 1,600 here, a rise of 430 for one slice. Set that against the DOUBLE WHOPPER Sandwich, which adds a whole second patty and reaches only 1,240 milligrams. The bigger sandwich is the less salty one, by a distance, and nothing on the menu board hints at it.
Evidence is the other weakness. Every other headline sandwich in this family carries three or four independent price readings; this one carries a single $7.99, because most lists treat cheese as an option rather than a product. A lone figure cannot show a spread, and on a brand whose plain Whopper moved 58 percent between readings in the same month, the absence of a spread should not be mistaken for stability.
Order it if the slice is the point. Order the double if size is, because it costs ten cents more, brings 160 more calories and carries 360 milligrams less sodium than this sandwich does. Neither choice is expensive by the standards of the family, and neither has a published price behind it.

Questions people ask
How much is a Whopper with Cheese?
About $7.99, on the single reading recorded in August 2026. That puts it roughly $1.20 above the plain sandwich. Burger King publishes no price of its own, so the figure describes what was found rather than what the company charges.
How many calories does the cheese add?
Ninety. Burger King's 2022 nutrition document gives 670 for the plain Whopper and 760 with cheese. Sodium moves further, from 1,170 milligrams to 1,600.
Is it cheaper to add cheese to a plain Whopper?
Sometimes, and it depends entirely on the restaurant. Modifier pricing and menu pricing are set separately, so two routes to an identical sandwich can differ by a dollar.
Is this page an official Burger King price list?
No. HelpMeLogin is independent of Burger King and publishes nothing for it. No US price list exists from the company at all, which is why the $7.99 above is a recorded figure rather than a quoted one.
Can this site tell me the price at my local Burger King?
No. Franchisees run most US restaurants and price their own menus. Choose your restaurant in the Burger King app and read the number there.
