$6.39 image reference price
One four-ounce patty before cooking
Two American cheese slices
520 official calories
Best starting point for most users

Best beef value

Eight ounces total before cooking
740 official calories

Best image-price patty upgrade

Best fresh toppings

Quarter Pounder Deluxe

Choose Deluxe when lettuce, tomato and creamy mayonnaise matter more than adding another beef patty.

$7.49 image reference price
One four-ounce patty
Three Roma tomato slices

Best bacon option

Bacon Quarter Pounder

Choose Bacon when thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon is worth the higher reference burger price.

Quarter Pounder Prices 2026

How to read this table: the burger and meal prices match the supplied comparison image. They are reference figures for planning, not McDonald’s nationally fixed official prices.

Quarter Pounder option	Burger price	Meal price	Official calories	Best for
Quarter Pounder with Cheese	$6.39 reference	$10.69–$11.29 reference	520 burger 1,110 medium meal	Best overall balance
Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese	$6.99 reference	$12.49 reference	740 burger 1,330 medium meal	Maximum beef and strong upgrade value
Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe	$7.49 reference	$13.99 reference	630 burger 1,220 medium meal	Lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise
Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese	$8.99 reference	$11.19 reference	Check current burger page 1,220 medium meal	Applewood-smoked bacon
Quarter Pounder without Cheese	Check local app	Build locally	420 burger	Lower-calorie cheese-free customization

All listed beef weights are before cooking. The selected restaurant controls the actual price, availability and permitted customizations.

Do not publish these prices as “official national prices.” McDonald’s official product pages publish product builds, calories and ordering conditions but regular restaurant prices can change by location.

What Does a Quarter Pounder Meal Include?

1. Selected burger

Choose the single, Double, Deluxe or Bacon Quarter Pounder. The burger determines the base calories and most of the meal-price difference.

2. Medium Fries

Official standard meal calculations use medium World Famous Fries. Moving to a large size changes price and calories.

3. Medium soft drink

Official meal calories are displayed with a medium Coca-Cola. Choosing another drink changes the total.

Meal	Reference price	Official standard calories	Standard configuration	What can increase cost
Single Quarter Pounder Meal	$10.69–$11.29	1,110 Cal	Single burger, medium Fries and medium Coca-Cola	Large size, specialty drink, bacon, extra patty or delivery
Double Quarter Pounder Meal	$12.49	1,330 Cal	Double burger, medium Fries and medium Coca-Cola	Large meal, premium drink, extras or delivery fees
Deluxe Quarter Pounder Meal	$13.99	1,220 Cal	Deluxe burger, medium Fries and medium Coca-Cola	Larger sizes, drink substitutions and add-ons
Bacon Quarter Pounder Meal	$11.19	1,220 Cal	Bacon QPC, medium Fries and medium Coca-Cola	Availability, size, extra bacon, premium drink or delivery

Why meal calories add about 590: the standard medium single meal rises from 520 burger calories to 1,110 total calories. The Double rises from 740 to 1,330. In both examples, medium Fries and medium Coca-Cola add approximately 590 calories.

Meal or separate items: what should you check?

✓ Check the same sizes A medium meal cannot be fairly compared with separately selected large Fries.

✓ Check the drink A specialty McCafé drink can add both cost and calories.

✓ Check the meal discount Add the burger, medium Fries and drink prices separately and compare the total.

✓ Check the final bag Tax, extras and local fees may not appear until checkout.

Single vs Double Quarter Pounder

Pre-cook beef weight

Single Quarter Pounder 4 oz.

Double Quarter Pounder 8 oz.

The Double adds one complete four-ounce patty before cooking, doubling the listed pre-cook beef weight.

Burger calories

Single Quarter Pounder 520 Cal

Double Quarter Pounder 740 Cal

The extra patty adds 220 burger calories. It doubles the beef weight but does not double the calories of the complete sandwich.

Using the image prices

The Double costs $0.60 more than the single. That equals $0.15 for each additional pre-cook ounce of beef.

When the upgrade is under $2

The Double is usually a strong beef-value upgrade when the additional patty costs less than buying another sandwich.

When the upgrade is over $3

Compare a single Quarter Pounder plus a McValue item or side before selecting the Double automatically.

Image-price verdict: at $6.39 for the single and $6.99 for the Double, paying $0.60 for an additional four-ounce patty is the strongest beef-value option in the supplied reference comparison.

Deluxe vs Bacon Quarter Pounder

Feature	Quarter Pounder Deluxe	Bacon Quarter Pounder	Better choice when
Reference burger price	$7.49	$8.99	Deluxe costs $1.50 less in the image comparison
Fresh beef	One four-ounce patty	One four-ounce patty	Equal beef base
Extra toppings	Lettuce, three Roma tomato slices and mayonnaise	Thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon	Choose based on fresh toppings versus bacon
Cheese	Two American cheese slices	Two American cheese slices	Equal standard cheese count
Official medium-meal calories	1,220 Cal	1,220 Cal	Standard meal calories are equal
Best user	Prefers lettuce, tomato and creamy mayo	Prefers bacon and a smokier burger	Personal topping preference decides

The supplied reference image shows the Bacon meal at $11.19, lower than the Deluxe meal at $13.99. Because local meal pricing can produce unusual relationships, always verify that both listings use the same size and order method before treating the cheaper meal as a permanent rule.

What Comes on a Quarter Pounder?

Ingredient	Single QPC	Double QPC	Deluxe QPC	Bacon QPC

McDonald’s says the national Quarter Pounder sandwiches contain no artificial flavors, preservatives or added colors from artificial sources. The pickle contains an artificial preservative, so removing the pickle changes that specific ingredient detail.

Quarter Pounder Customizations: Price and Calorie Effects

Customization	What changes	Likely price effect	Nutrition effect	What to verify
Remove cheese	Removes two standard cheese slices	Price may remain unchanged	Official no-cheese burger is 420 Cal	Whether the local app reduces price
Remove pickles	Removes pickles and their preservative	Usually no discount	Small calorie and sodium change	Other allergens and shared preparation remain
Remove ketchup or mustard	Reduces standard sauces	Usually no discount	Small calorie and sodium reduction	Current customized nutrition total
Add bacon	Adds applewood-smoked bacon	Usually an extra charge	Adds calories, fat and sodium	Whether listed Bacon QPC is cheaper
Add another patty	Adds four ounces before cooking	Local add-on price	Standard calories no longer apply	Whether Double QPC costs less
Make it a meal	Adds Fries and drink	Bundle price or separate-item total	About 590 calories in standard configuration	Drink, side size and meal saving
Use a zero-sugar drink	Changes the beverage	Usually same standard meal price	Can substantially reduce meal calories	Current beverage availability

Quarter Pounder Calories and Nutrition Decisions

Option	Burger calories	Medium meal calories	Difference from single burger	Practical use
Quarter Pounder without Cheese	420 Cal	Depends on chosen side and drink	100 fewer calories	Lower-calorie beef option
Quarter Pounder with Cheese	520 Cal	1,110 Cal	Baseline	Balanced standard choice
Double Quarter Pounder	740 Cal	1,330 Cal	220 more calories	Maximum beef
Quarter Pounder Deluxe	630 Cal	1,220 Cal	110 more calories	Lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise
Bacon Quarter Pounder	Check current product details	1,220 Cal	Depends on current burger formulation	Bacon preference

Lower-calorie order

Choose the no-cheese or single burger, use a zero-sugar drink and consider ordering without a full medium meal.

More beef without bigger sides

Choose the Double sandwich but keep the Fries and drink sizes unchanged or order the burger without a meal.

Fresh toppings are not automatically lighter

The Deluxe adds lettuce and tomato, but mayonnaise raises it above the standard single’s calorie total.

Official nutrition values use standard formulations and serving sizes. Preparation, ingredient supply, regional differences, fountain-drink fill levels and customizations can change the actual total.

How the Quarter Pounder Fresh-Beef Claim Works

✓ Four ounces before cooking Each standard Quarter Pounder patty weighs four ounces before cooking.

✓ Cooked when ordered The fresh-beef patty is placed on the flat-iron grill after the order is made.

✓ Salt and pepper seasoning McDonald’s describes the patty as seasoned with salt and pepper.

! Geographic exception Fresh beef is available at most contiguous-U.S. restaurants, not Alaska, Hawaii or U.S. territories.

✓ Single versus Double The Double uses two separate four-ounce patties before cooking.

! Weight changes while cooking The “quarter pound” measurement does not describe the final cooked weight.

Quarter Pounder Allergens and Dietary Limits

Food allergy warning: McDonald’s kitchens can use shared preparation areas, equipment and utensils. Removing one ingredient does not remove cross-contact risk.

Dairy

Standard cheese versions contain American cheese. Removing cheese does not automatically make the complete order safe for a dairy allergy.

Wheat and sesame

The standard burger uses a sesame seed bun. Review the current official ingredient and allergen information for the complete formulation.

Deluxe considerations

The Deluxe adds mayonnaise in addition to the cheese and sesame seed bun. Check its current egg and other allergen declarations.

McDonald’s USA does not promote its U.S. menu items as vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free and does not claim that they satisfy Halal, Kosher or other religious dietary requirements.
