But the Whopper is not one sandwich. It is a family of twelve, from the Whopper Jr. at $3.99 to the Triple Whopper at $10.49, plus the plant-based Impossible Whopper and the Texas Double Whopper. This page lists every one of them with its price and calories, compares them side by side, and works out which one is the best value — including against the humble Cheeseburger, which costs less than half as much.
Every Whopper variant — price and calories
| Item | Price | Meal price | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whopper® | $6.49 | $10.99 | 710 |
| Whopper® with Cheese | $6.99 | $11.49 | 790 |
| Double Whopper® | $8.49 | $12.99 | 980 |
| Triple Whopper® | $10.49 | $14.99 | 1,250 |
| Whopper Jr.® | $3.99 | $7.49 | 340 |
| Impossible™ Whopper® | $7.39 | $11.29 | 670 |
| Bacon King® | $7.99 | $12.49 | 1,260 |
| Big King® | $5.49 | $9.99 | 660 |
| Quarter Pound King® | $6.29 | $10.79 | 680 |
| Whopper Melt® | $4.99 | $9.49 | 650 |
| Bacon Whopper Melt® | $5.49 | $9.99 | 700 |
| Texas Double Whopper® | $9.29 | $13.79 | 1,120 |
The pattern in the table is straightforward: each step up in size adds roughly $2 and 200 to 270 calories. The Whopper Jr. to the classic Whopper is the biggest jump in value terms — $2.50 more, and 370 more calories. The Double Whopper adds a second patty for $2.00 over the classic and 270 calories. The Triple Whopper adds a third patty for another $2.00 and another 270 calories, taking the sandwich to 1,250 calories.
Cheese is the cheapest upgrade on the menu. Adding cheese to a Whopper costs $0.50 and adds 80 calories, taking it from $6.49 and 710 calories to $6.99 and 790 calories. The Whopper Melt, at $4.99 and 650 calories, is the budget entry into the Whopper line — a smaller, toasted version that costs $1.50 less than the classic Whopper. The Bacon Whopper Melt adds bacon for $0.50 and 50 calories.
The Whopper vs. the rest of the burger menu
The Whopper does not exist in isolation. The Big King at $5.49 and the Quarter Pound King at $6.29 are the closest alternatives in the same price band: the Big King is $1.00 cheaper than the Whopper and 50 calories lighter, while the Quarter Pound King is $0.20 cheaper and 30 calories lighter. The Texas Double Whopper, at $9.29 and 1,120 calories, is the premium double — $0.80 more than the Double Whopper and 140 calories heavier.
The Bacon King deserves its own warning. At $7.99 it is cheaper than the Double Whopper, but at 1,260 calories it is the highest-calorie item on the entire Burger King menu — 10 calories more than the Triple Whopper, which costs $2.50 more. If calories are the deciding factor, the Bacon King is the heaviest choice you can make.
The Impossible Whopper is the outlier of the family. At $7.39 it costs $0.90 more than the classic Whopper, but at 670 calories it is 40 calories lighter. It is the only Whopper variant built around a plant-based patty, and it is priced as a premium item rather than a value one.
Whopper vs. Cheeseburger: which is better value?
The comparison people actually make at the counter is between the Whopper and the Cheeseburger. The numbers make it a closer call than the prices suggest.
| Item | Price | Calories | Calories per dollar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whopper® | $6.49 | 710 | 109 |
| Whopper® with Cheese | $6.99 | 790 | 113 |
| Double Cheeseburger | $3.49 | 460 | 132 |
| Cheeseburger | $2.79 | 300 | 108 |
| Hamburger | $2.49 | 260 | 104 |
| Whopper Jr.® | $3.99 | 340 | 85 |
A Cheeseburger at $2.79 gives you 300 calories, or 108 calories per dollar — almost exactly the same as the Whopper's 109. The Double Cheeseburger is the value winner on this measure: $3.49 for 460 calories, or 132 calories per dollar. The Whopper Jr. is the worst value by this measure at 85 calories per dollar, because you are paying for the Whopper name in a smaller sandwich. Value, in other words, depends on what you are measuring. If you want the most food per dollar, the Double Cheeseburger wins. If you want the biggest single flame-grilled sandwich, only the Whopper line gives you that.
What does a Whopper meal cost?
A Whopper meal is $10.99, which is $4.50 more than the sandwich on its own. The meal prices follow the same ladder as the sandwiches: Whopper Jr. meal $7.49, Whopper Melt meal $9.49, Big King meal $9.99, Bacon Whopper Melt meal $9.99, Quarter Pound King meal $10.79, Whopper with Cheese meal $11.49, Impossible Whopper meal $11.29, Bacon King meal $12.49, Double Whopper meal $12.99, Texas Double Whopper meal $13.79, and Triple Whopper meal $14.99.
If the meal price feels steep, the fixed-price bundles on the Deals page are the alternative: the $5 Your Way Meal is $5.00, the $5 Duo is $5.00, and the $7 Trio is $7.00. None of them is a Whopper meal, but the $7 Trio at $7.00 undercuts the cheapest Whopper meal by $0.49.
The meal gap: sandwich vs. meal
One pattern in the price table is easy to miss. For almost every Whopper-family sandwich, the meal costs exactly $4.50 more than the sandwich on its own. The classic Whopper goes from $6.49 to $10.99. The Whopper with Cheese goes from $6.99 to $11.49. The Double Whopper goes from $8.49 to $12.99, the Triple from $10.49 to $14.99, the Bacon King from $7.99 to $12.49, and the Texas Double Whopper from $9.29 to $13.79 — all gaps of $4.50. The same $4.50 gap applies to the Whopper Melt, the Bacon Whopper Melt, the Big King, and the Quarter Pound King.
There are only two exceptions. The Whopper Jr. meal is $3.50 more than the sandwich ($3.99 to $7.49), and the Impossible Whopper meal is $3.90 more ($7.39 to $11.29). The Jr. is the cheapest meal in the Whopper family, and it also has the smallest meal gap. Knowing the gap helps at the counter: if you are choosing between two sandwiches, the meal prices will keep the same $4.50 distance, so the cheaper sandwich stays the cheaper meal. The only decision that changes the gap is whether to order the Jr. or the Impossible Whopper, where the meal upgrade costs less than usual.
