Inspired by The Economist's Big Mac Index — are currencies over or undervalued vs the US dollar?
Whopper: Standard standalone Whopper burger (no meal/combo). Typical in-store, non-promotional prices.
KFC Bucket: Standard 8-piece chicken-only bucket (10pc for UK, as that's the standard Bargain Bucket).
FX Rates: Approximate spot rates as of May 6, 2026. EUR/USD ≈ 1.172, GBP/USD ≈ 1.358, USD/JPY ≈ 157, USD/BRL ≈ 4.94.
The valuation % shows how much cheaper or more expensive each country's item is compared to the US price in dollar terms — implying the local currency is that much under/overvalued relative to PPP.
