McDonald's Meal Builder: Estimate a Custom Order
Pick items, sizes, quantities, drinks and sauces to add up their observed prices. Example: a Big Mac, Medium fries and Medium Coke total $14.56 as separate delivery listings. The Big Mac Meal (Medium) averaged $11.77. The result is an estimate built from parts, not an official combo price, and you cannot place an order here.

What this builder does, and what it does not
The builder adds component listings from the site's shared price dataset. It follows the same rules as the rest of the site.
An estimate, not a menu product
A combination you assemble here is not an official McDonald's item, and its sum is not an official combo price. Where a documented meal exists, it appears beside your total as a separate line.
No ordering or checkout
Nothing is sent to McDonald's or DoorDash. To order or see your restaurant's price, use the official app or the official restaurant locator.
Integer-cent arithmetic
Each price is stored in whole cents, for example $7.45 as 745. The builder multiplies by quantity and sums in cents, then formats the result once at the end, so no rounding drift builds up.
Missing means incomplete, never zero
If any component has no verified price or nutrient value, the total is marked incomplete and shows only the known part as a partial sum.
Build an order
The interactive builder needs JavaScript. If it does not load, use the component table and the worked examples below. They contain the same figures.
| Component | Variant / size | Qty | Unit price | Line total | Calories |

| No components added yet. | |||||
We have not yet recorded calorie, protein, sodium or sugar figures from official U.S. McDonald's product pages with a check date. Until we do, every nutrition total is incomplete and nutrient columns show Not verified. The builder also does not estimate nutrition for customizations such as no cheese or extra sauce. Official figures are listed on the official U.S. full menu.

Each figure averages the latest listing at each sampled location that carried that variant. Not in-store or national prices. Calories show Not verified until official U.S. figures are recorded with a check date.
Separate items vs a documented meal
What a combo meal includesWhen your selection matches a documented meal, the builder shows that meal's observed price as its own line. It never adds the meal price on top of the parts, which would count the fries and drink twice.
Separate items cost $2.79 more than the meal listing.
Separate items cost $2.80 more than the meal listing.
Separate items cost $2.48 more than the meal listing.
Separate items cost $2.74 more than the meal listing.
These comparisons assume a Medium meal listing contains Medium fries and a Medium soft drink. The combo meal guide covers what a meal includes. A meal may let you swap the drink, and some drinks cost more on their own than a Coke. Treat each gap as a rough guide for this sample, not a fixed discount. Dipping sauces are priced separately here. We have not verified whether a delivery meal listing includes a sauce at no charge.
How incomplete totals are shown
A missing value is never treated as zero. The builder reports the known part and labels the whole total incomplete.
Total: incomplete. At least $7.45 plus the cone's local price.
Calorie total: incomplete. No figure is shown rather than a guess.
The same rule applies on the comparison tool. If you are pricing an unofficial combination, such as a sandwich with extra sauce cups, the secret-menu guide explains which parts can be priced and what staff may not be able to make.
Rounding, tax and fees
Full pricing methodologyRounding
The source averages are already rounded to the cent. The builder adds those cent values exactly and does no further rounding. Small differences from a real receipt are expected.
Tax excluded
Sales tax depends on the state and locality and is not added to any total.
Delivery costs excluded
Delivery fees, service fees, small-order fees and tips are not included. The prices are menu listings on DoorDash, which can differ from in-store or app prices. The delivery vs in-store guide explains the difference.
Different location sets
Each component's average comes from the sampled locations that listed it, and those sets do not always match. A summed order is therefore an approximation, not one restaurant's bill. Promotions and app deals are not applied.
Compare items side by side
Put two to four specific variants next to each other with their observation context, or search every listing in the dataset.
