How much does a Big Mac cost around the world?
The price of a McDonald's Big Mac – for decades the simplest gauge of whether a currency is cheap or dear. The burger is the same everywhere, so the price gap after converting to one currency shows what money is really worth in each country. The Economist collects the prices twice a year.

Where the data come from
Source: The Economist – Big Mac Index. Licence: MIT. Period: July 2026. Source page.
Prices are shown in the currency the source published them in. Conversion to another currency goes through the US dollar equivalent from the period of the data (at the rate the source used) and then the latest ECB or NBP rate – so the result may differ slightly from converting at today's rate.
