Local prices are the stored values and do not move with exchange rates; dollar figures use mid-market rates from 05 October 2026. Portion size and recipe can differ between markets even when the product name does not - Read the methodology before quoting these figures.
What this does not adjust for: local wages, sales-tax treatment, portion size or what comes in the box. A India McChicken at $1.44 is cheaper in dollars, not necessarily cheaper for someone earning a indian wage.
