Each figure averages the latest listing at each sampled location, with equal weight per location. Each meal also had a listing with no explicit size. Its average matched the Medium meal for all three burgers, so the table shows it once as Medium. Delivery menus often carry higher prices than restaurant counters. Calories are not shown because we have not yet recorded them from official U.S. product pages.
The price ladder: from Double Hamburger to Triple Cheeseburger
These four sandwiches share the same small-patty format. Each step up the ladder adds a single thing: cheese, bacon or another patty. That makes it possible to see what each addition cost on the sampled delivery menus.
- Double Hamburger$4.10Sandwich, delivery avg.
- Double Cheeseburger$4.85Sandwich, delivery avg.
- Bacon Double Cheeseburger$5.94Sandwich, delivery avg.
- Triple Cheeseburger$6.47Sandwich, delivery avg.
On these averages, adding bacon cost about $0.53 less than adding a third patty.
The triple cost about 27 cents less per patty. Patty counts are taken from the product names.
Each listing is averaged over the locations where it appeared, and those sets of locations are not always identical. Treat the step differences as approximate guides, not fixed upcharges. A restaurant that charges more for one rung usually charges more for the others too. Check your own restaurant's prices before relying on a gap of a few cents.
What the meal adds, and whether it beats ordering separately
How combo meals workA meal pairs the sandwich with fries and a drink at the chosen size. Our combo meal hub defines meal components in full. The arithmetic below uses only listings from the same delivery dataset.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Double Cheeseburger | $4.85 | $9.40 | +$4.55 | $10.50 | +$5.65 |
| Bacon Double Cheeseburger | $5.94 | $9.59 | +$3.65 | $11.09 | +$5.15 |
| Triple Cheeseburger | $6.47 | $10.41 | +$3.94 | $11.51 | +$5.04 |

Premiums are differences between two averages and are not prices charged by any single restaurant.
On these averages, the Medium meal came to $2.56 less than the three items ordered separately.
Assumes a Medium meal includes Medium fries and a Medium fountain drink, priced here as Coke. Swapping in a different drink changes the separate total. Tax, delivery fees and service fees are excluded.
The meal premium was smaller on the bacon and triple versions than on the plain Double Cheeseburger. As a result, the Bacon Double Cheeseburger Meal averaged only $0.19 more than the Double Cheeseburger Meal, even though the sandwiches differ by $1.09. This may reflect how individual restaurants price meals. It may also reflect differences in which locations listed each item. We cannot tell which from the averages alone.

Nutrition, ingredients and allergens
Nutrition and allergen figures appear on this site only after we take them from official U.S. McDonald's product pages and record a check date. That has not yet been done for the Double Cheeseburger family.
We have not recorded calories, protein, sodium, sugar or allergen disclosures for the Double Cheeseburger, Bacon Double Cheeseburger or Triple Cheeseburger. Use the official U.S. McDonald's product pages for current nutrition and allergen information. A missing figure here does not mean an item is free of any allergen. Restaurants prepare food in shared kitchens, and cross-contact is possible.
Customizations
Removing cheese, pickles or onions changes the nutrition. We do not estimate figures for custom orders.
Meal totals
Meal nutrition depends on the fries size and drink chosen. The meal builder marks totals as incomplete when any component is unverified.
