McDouble prices: sandwich and meals

All burger prices

The sandwich is listed apart from its meals. The dataset also carries an unsized meal listing, which matched the Medium average exactly.

Each figure averages the latest listing at each sampled location, weighted equally. These are delivery-menu prices, not in-store or national prices. Calories are shown only once taken from official U.S. McDonald's pages with a check date.

CalculationLarge meal $8.64 − Medium meal $8.04 = $0.60

Sizing the McDouble Meal up to Large added 60 cents in the delivery averages.

No Daily Double meal appeared in the dataset, so its meal cells are not verified rather than estimated. Item coverage can differ by location, so an item may not be on every sampled menu.

Pending source check

McDonald's U.S. product descriptions are widely reported to differ by cheese: one slice on the McDouble, two on the Double Cheeseburger. We have not yet recorded a check date for the official product pages, so treat this as unconfirmed until the provenance box below lists it.

Editorial note

On sandwich price alone the gap is small. It widens to $1.36 at the Medium meal and $1.86 at Large, so the choice matters more when ordering a meal. See the Double Cheeseburger page for the triple and bacon steps.

Where the McDouble sits on the small-burger ladder

Each step adds a patty or a slice of cheese. The price differences between adjacent rows show what each addition cost in the delivery averages.

CalculationCheeseburger $3.42 − Hamburger $3.04 = $0.38McDouble $4.44 − Double Hamburger $4.10 = $0.34McDouble $4.44 ÷ 2 patties = $2.22 per patty

Adding cheese cost 34–38 cents at both the single and double level. These are differences between averages, not a menu add-on price.

A regional Green Chile Double Cheese was also listed at $3.69 (sandwich) and $7.49 (Medium meal). It is not compared directly here because its listing count is not broken out in our summary. It appears on the burger hub.

What the meal adds: McDouble vs other sandwiches

What a combo meal includes

The meal premium is the Medium meal average minus the sandwich average. The McDouble's premium was one of the smallest in the dataset, but not the smallest.

Premiums are differences between two averages. If a sandwich and its meal were sampled at different sets of locations, the difference is not the premium any single restaurant charged.

CalculationMcDouble $4.44 + medium French Fries $4.68 + medium Coke $2.43 = $11.55 bought separately$11.55 − McDouble Medium meal $8.04 = $3.51

The Medium meal averaged $3.51 less than the three items ordered separately, assuming it includes medium fries and a medium soft drink.

That assumption follows the meal name in the listing; the official meal definition is covered on the combo meals page. To price your own combination, use the meal builder, which marks totals incomplete where a price or nutrient is missing.

Nutrition, ingredients and allergens

We publish nutrition and allergen figures only after taking them from official U.S. McDonald's pages and recording a check date.

Not verified

Calories, protein, sodium, sugar, the ingredient list and allergen disclosures for the McDouble have not yet been recorded from an official source. They are shown as not verified rather than estimated.

Check the official U.S. McDonald's menu for current product details.

Allergen limitation

Missing allergen data means unknown, not allergen-free. An ingredient list alone cannot rule out cross-contact in a restaurant kitchen. Rely on McDonald's official allergen information and ask the restaurant if you have a medical need.

Is the McDouble on a value menu?

Dollar and value menu status

The McDouble has long been linked with McDonald's value pricing in news coverage. We have not yet sourced a current official U.S. statement placing it in a value program, so we make no claim about its present value-menu status.

Value offers in the app vary by restaurant and are not reflected in the regular delivery prices above. Current, expired and unverified offers are tracked on the dollar menu and value menu page.
