The Price Of A McDonald's Big Mac In Every US State And Around The World, Mapped
In 1986 The Economist's Pam Woodall created the Big Mac Index as a way to compare the purchasing power parity (ratio of the prices in national currencies of the same goods/services) of global currencies. For example, In December 2022, a Big Mac cost £3.79 in Britain and $5.36 in the US, The Economist says that this shows that the GBP was undervalued against the USD by 12.9 percent.
