One product, priced everywhere.
The same burger costs wildly different amounts around the world. Comparing those prices against exchange rates gives a rough read on which currencies are cheap or dear — and measuring them against local wages says something exchange rates never do: how long you have to work to buy one.
Full rankings — 54 countries
Every market’s local price, its dollar equivalent, and what a month’s salary buys. Work-minutes is the honest comparison: it holds the product constant and lets the wage move.
Valuation compares each currency against the US benchmark on burger parity: negative means the currency buys less than the exchange rate implies. Macs-per-salary and work-minutes need a net income figure, so they show only for countries carrying one of the scored markets.
Price history, 2000–2026
Dollar price per burger across 56 economies. Toggle any series — the axis rescales to what you select, so an expensive outlier cannot flatten everything else.
How to read it: burger parity is a rough gauge, not a valuation model. It ignores local rents, wages, taxes and margins, all of which legitimately differ between countries. Treat it as one indicator among twenty — the engine never scores a market on it alone.
