Average retail price of a Big Mac (local currency, per sandwich)

This statistic reports the average retail price of a McDonald’s Big Mac in each country (in local currency units) as compiled for The Economist’s Big Mac Index. While the Big Mac Index is often discussed for its implied currency valuation, the underlying price itself is a simple, comparable consumer-goods price point that can be surprisingly revealing about local costs, wages, taxes, and input prices.

Because it is a single standardized product sold globally, the Big Mac’s local price is frequently used as an intuitive “everyday purchasing power” benchmark. Coverage depends on where McDonald’s sells Big Macs and where The Economist reports prices, so it is not universal—but it is still one of the most widely cited standardized global price datasets and is updated regularly.
