Source: The Economist Big Mac index, 2026-01-01 cycle. Conversions use cycle exchange rates, not live FX. Valuation compares each currency against the US benchmark on burger parity: negative means the currency buys less than the exchange rate implies.
What each layer means
- Price (USD) — The Big Mac converted to dollars at the cycle exchange rate. Cheaper reads stronger for the consumer.
- Currency Valuation — Implied over- or undervaluation against the US benchmark. Negative means the currency buys less than the exchange rate implies.
- Affordability — Big Macs buyable with one average monthly net salary. More is stronger.
- Work-Time — Minutes of work to earn one Big Mac, on a 22-day eight-hour month. Fewer is stronger.
- Price Gap vs US — Distance from the US benchmark price, in dollars.
- Scoring — every layer is min-max normalized across the scored markets and pointed so 100 is the better outcome, which is why the colour ramp reads the same way on all five.
Limitations, stated up front: the Big Mac Index is a cultural, supporting indicator. It does not measure housing, does not prove causation, does not cover every country, and never drives a decision alone — always combine it with income, inflation, rent and currency data.
