Averages of the latest listing per sampled location, equal weight per location. Delivery menus usually carry higher prices than the same restaurant's counter or app menu, and delivery fees, service fees and tax are not included. Calories are shown as Not verified until we record them from the official U.S. product page. Double-patty versions are on the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese page.
In every version, the base meal listing averaged exactly the same as the Medium meal. That pattern suggests delivery listings with no size named default to a Medium meal, but the dataset does not state this, so we show both rows rather than merge them.
What the Deluxe and Bacon upgrades cost
A decision aid built from the averages above. Same channel, same observation window, so the differences are comparable as averages, though any single restaurant can differ.
The Bacon version averaged about twice the Deluxe premium over the base sandwich.
In meal form, both upgrades averaged slightly less than they did on the sandwich alone.

Quarter Pounder with Cheese vs Big Mac
Big Mac prices and nutritionThe two sit within a few cents of each other in this sample, so price alone does not separate them.
| Serving | Quarter Pounder with Cheese | Big Mac | Difference (QPC − Big Mac) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandwich only | $7.54 | $7.45 | +$0.09 |
| Medium meal | $11.91 | $11.77 | +$0.14 |
| Large meal | $12.88 | $12.91 | −$0.03 |

A gap of a few cents between two averages is smaller than the differences you will typically see between restaurants, so treat these two as priced about the same on delivery menus. The choice comes down to the build of the sandwich rather than cost. To line them up with protein, sodium and sugar once official figures are recorded, use the menu item comparison tool.
Moving to two patties costs more than either upgrade above. The Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese averaged $9.44 as a sandwich, which is $1.90 above the single ($9.44 − $7.54). That is also $0.32 more than the Bacon single.
Meal or sandwich plus sides?
The dataset prices meals as single listings and does not itemize their contents. Meals are generally sold as the sandwich with fries and a drink, and the Medium and Large labels refer to those sides. Our combo meals page explains what a meal includes and where restaurants differ.
The meal averaged $2.74 less than buying the three listings separately.
This compares averages from the same channel and window, not one restaurant's menu. It assumes a Medium Coke as the drink. Your restaurant's meal contents and drink choices may differ.
Ingredients, beef and allergens
We publish ingredient, beef-sourcing and allergen statements only after recording them from the official U.S. product page with a check date.
We have not yet recorded a dated check of the official U.S. Quarter Pounder with Cheese, Deluxe or Bacon product pages. This page therefore does not state calories, ingredients, how the beef is prepared, or which allergens are disclosed. A missing figure here means unknown. It does not mean an item is free of any allergen.
Start from the official U.S. McDonald's full menu and follow the product link for current nutrition, ingredients and allergen information.
Customizations change the facts
Removing cheese or adding bacon changes nutrition. We do not estimate exact figures for custom builds.
Cross-contact
Shared kitchens and equipment mean no listing guarantees the absence of an allergen. Check official information and ask the restaurant directly.
