If something goes wrong

The Extra Value Meals page shows no prices at all

Cause
That is what it does. The page was opened and checked: 25 meals are listed with links to each build, and no dollar figure appears anywhere on it.
Fix
Use the app with a restaurant selected, which prices each meal against that board.

A breakfast meal has half the calories of a lunch meal

Cause
Breakfast Extra Value Meals pair the sandwich with Hash Browns at 140 calories and a small McCafé Premium Roast Coffee at 5. Lunch trays carry medium World Famous Fries at 320 and a medium drink.
Fix
Compare like with like. An Egg McMuffin Meal at 455 is not the same shape of meal as a 1,110-calorie burger tray.

The Cheeseburger Meal total looks far too high

Cause
It holds two Cheeseburgers rather than one. Each burger is 300 calories, and with 590 for the sides that produces the 1,190 McDonald's publishes.
Fix
Count the burgers on the receipt before comparing that total with any single-sandwich meal.

A meal name on the menu looks garbled

Cause
McDonald's runs its badge text into the product link, so one entry reads Now CrispierMcCrispy Strips Meal in a single string, and the Quarter Pounder* with Cheese Meal carries an asterisk on the trademark.
Fix
Search for the product name without the badge. The builds themselves are unchanged.

A tier with 25 meals and no price list

Extra Value Meals are the oldest bundle McDonald's sells and the least documented. The company's own category page lists 25 of them, nine at breakfast and sixteen from lunch onwards, each linking to a build page with a calorie sentence on it. Not one of those pages, and not the category page above them, carries a price. That absence was checked directly rather than assumed.

One exception exists and it is worth naming precisely. On 2 September 2025 McDonald's announced the return of the Extra Value Meal with two figures attached: an $8.00 Big Mac Meal and a $5.00 Sausage McMuffin with Egg Meal, both flagged for a limited time, both under the line that prices and participation may vary. Those two builds sit in the value and deal tiers section of this site because they carry company prices. Everything on this page is a published reading instead.

Recorded figures for the six meals here run from $8.79 for a McCrispy Meal to $10.69 for a Quarter Pounder* with Cheese Meal, with $9.74 as the typical figure across the section. Two of the six, the Cheeseburger Meal and the 3 Piece McCrispy Strips Meal, produced no reading at all, so their cells stay empty. A tier that publishes nothing and gets recorded unevenly cannot support any claim about percentage savings, which is why no such claim appears here.

Calories behave far better, and they follow a rule worth learning. A medium World Famous Fries is 320 and a medium Sprite is 250, so meals built on Sprite add 570 to the sandwich: 380 plus 570 gives the 950 published for a Filet-O-Fish Meal, and 470 plus 570 gives the 1,040 for a McCrispy Meal. Swap in a medium Coca-Cola at 270 and the pairing becomes 590, which is how a 520-calorie Quarter Pounder with Cheese reaches a published 1,110. Breakfast works to its own arithmetic, adding Hash Browns and a small coffee for 145.

A pair of totals needs explaining before anyone uses them. The Cheeseburger Meal is 1,190 because the build contains two burgers, which the company states in its own description and which the arithmetic confirms exactly. The 3 Piece McCrispy Strips Meal at 970 confirms something else: subtract the 570 of Sprite-based sides and the strips must be 400, matching the figure McDonald's publishes for them separately.

What none of this settles is the price at any particular counter. Roughly 95% of US restaurants under the brand are franchised, and a franchisee prices bundles as it prices everything else, which is why a tier with a national name has no national number. Anyone comparing a meal against its parts should price the sandwich, the fries and the drink separately in the app first. Figures here were recorded from published US listings in August 2026, and every calorie total belongs to McDonald's.

Questions people ask

Does McDonald's publish Extra Value Meal prices?

No. The company's Extra Value Meals page lists 25 meals and shows no price against any of them. The one exception was a September 2025 release naming an $8.00 Big Mac Meal and a $5.00 Sausage McMuffin with Egg Meal, both limited-time.

How much is an Extra Value Meal?

Recorded figures for the six meals here run from $8.79 to $10.69, with a typical $9.74 across the section. Two of the six produced no reading at all.

How many Extra Value Meals are there?

Twenty-five on McDonald's own category page, split nine at breakfast and sixteen for the rest of the day. Six of them carry figures on this site.

Why is the Egg McMuffin Meal so much lighter than the others?

Because breakfast builds pair the sandwich with Hash Browns at 140 calories and a small Premium Roast Coffee at 5, rather than medium World Famous Fries at 320 and a soft drink.

Do the meals really save money against buying the parts?

It cannot be verified from published data, because McDonald's prints no meal prices. Where readings exist, the sides work out between $2.20 and $4.40 on top of the sandwich, which is less than a medium fries and a drink cost separately.

Is this page an official McDonald's price list?

No. HelpMeLogin is independent of McDonald's and publishes nothing on its behalf. The calorie totals are the company's own figures; the prices were recorded from published US listings and checked on 19 August 2026.

Can this site tell me the price at my local McDonald's?

No. About 95% of US restaurants are franchised and each operator prices its own board, which is why this section reports ranges rather than a single figure. The McDonald's app answers it for one restaurant.
