What a combo meal includes

Each row is one burger. The sandwich price and the two meal sizes sit in separate columns, so an item price is never mixed up with a meal price. Calories stay marked as not verified until we record them from official U.S. product pages.

Swipe sideways to see every column.

Each figure averages the latest listing at each sampled location, with equal weight per location. These are delivery-menu prices, not in-store or national prices. The dataset also has a Base meal listing (no size named). For every burger meal here except one, Base equals Medium, so the table shows Medium. The exception is the 2 Cheeseburger Meal, whose Base averaged $11.21 against $11.32 for Medium. “Build” describes patty count from item names. It is not an ingredient list.

Single, double, triple: what each extra patty costs

Double and triple cheeseburgers

The same burger at a higher patty count makes the cleanest price comparison in the dataset. Toppings stay similar, so the difference is mostly the added meat and, sometimes, cheese.

Calculation · cheeseburger ladderCheeseburger $3.42 → Double Cheeseburger $4.85 = +$1.43Double Cheeseburger $4.85 → Triple Cheeseburger $6.47 = +$1.62Hamburger $3.04 → Double Hamburger $4.10 = +$1.06

In this sample, the third patty added more than the second did. That runs against a simple bulk discount.

A second quarter-pound patty added $1.78–$1.90 to the sandwich average. The Double Big Mac cost $0.57 more than the Big Mac.

McDouble vs Double Cheeseburger

Both have two patties. The McDouble averaged $4.44 and the Double Cheeseburger $4.85, a gap of $0.41. The meal gap is wider: $8.04 vs $9.40 for Medium, or $1.36.

From official U.S. product descriptions

McDonald's U.S. menu describes the McDouble with one slice of American cheese and the Double Cheeseburger with two. The listings reviewed show no other difference between them.

Sandwich-to-meal premiums

Combo meal definitions and math

A burger meal adds fries and a drink to the sandwich. Subtracting the sandwich average from the meal average shows roughly what the sides cost inside each meal.

Regular-menu burgers with both a sandwich and a meal listing, sorted by the Medium premium. Example: Big Mac Meal $11.77 − Big Mac $7.45 = $4.32.

Editorial note

Treat these gaps as approximate. Each average can draw on a slightly different set of locations, and delivery listings can carry their own markups. A premium of $3.17 does not mean the Bacon McDouble Meal is a better deal at your restaurant. Check both prices at the same store and channel. The meal builder keeps a composed estimate separate from an observed meal price.

Regional and limited burger listings

These names appear in the delivery dataset but are not standard items on the national menu. We have not confirmed with an official source where, or for how long, each one is sold.

Regional / limited local or promotional listing
  • Green Chile Double Cheese

    Sandwich $3.69, Medium meal $7.49, Large $7.79. A separate Green Chile add-on was listed at $0.79. Its sandwich average sat below the national Double Cheeseburger, at $4.85.

  • McTeri Deluxe

    Sandwich $7.79, Medium meal $11.99, Large $12.59. The listing does not state the build, so we show it as not verified.

  • Denali Mac

    Sandwich only $11.60. The meal was listed as a Medium Meal at $18.55 and a Large at $19.15. It is the highest-priced burger listing in the dataset.

  • Seattle Seahawks Quarter Pounder with Cheese Meal

    A team-branded meal at $23.59 Medium and $25.19 Large. The price suggests extra contents, but we could not verify them, so we compare it with nothing.

Not a burger listing

The Local Deluxe Platter ($8.39) is also a regional listing. The dataset gives no contents, and its name points to a platter rather than a sandwich. We keep it out of the burger comparisons above. It is covered with other breakfast listings on the breakfast menu page.

Burger packs and bundles

All family bundles and group packs

Several group listings are built around burgers. Their contents were not documented in the dataset, so we show prices only and do not work out a per-burger cost.

Burger price questions

What is the cheapest McDonald's burger in this data?

The Hamburger, at a $3.04 delivery average. The Cheeseburger followed at $3.42. The regional Green Chile Double Cheese averaged $3.69, but it is not on every menu.

Is a Big Mac cheaper than a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?

Slightly, in this sample: $7.45 vs $7.54 for the sandwiches. The Medium meals were $11.77 and $11.91. A gap that small can reverse at any single restaurant.

Why does the McDouble cost less than the Double Cheeseburger?

Official U.S. descriptions give the McDouble one cheese slice and the Double Cheeseburger two. Here they averaged $4.44 and $4.85, a $0.41 difference.

How much more is a Large meal than a Medium?

For regular-menu burgers, the Large meal averaged $0.60 (McDouble) to $1.50 (Bacon Double Cheeseburger) more than the Medium. See combo meal prices for what each size includes.

Are these the prices I will pay in the restaurant?

Not necessarily. They average DoorDash delivery listings across sampled U.S. locations. In-store and app prices can be lower, and they vary by restaurant. The delivery vs in-store guide explains how to check your local price.

Why are calories marked Not verified?

We publish nutrition only after recording it from official U.S. McDonald's product pages with a check date. Until then the field stays marked as not verified rather than holding an estimate.
