Quick Answer: The Whopper costs $8.19 on its own (670 kcal), with combo prices from $11.89 to $13.09 depending on size.
BK’s signature sandwich, a quarter-pound flame-grilled beef patty with tomato, lettuce, mayo, ketchup, pickles, and onion on a sesame seed bun. Every other item in this “Whopper” family, Jr., Double, Triple, and the specialty versions, builds off this same base.
Compared to the Impossible Whopper, this runs 40 more calories but far higher in cholesterol (85mg vs 15mg), the trade-off for going with beef instead of a plant-based patty.

My Honest Take
As the baseline for the entire Whopper lineup, this is the one to measure everything else against. Sodium (1,170mg) sits comfortably in the middle of the range covered across this site, well below the Bacon King (3,260mg) but above the Whopper Jr.’s numbers.
If you’re deciding between this and the Whopper Jr., the jump is roughly double the calories and protein for $2.50 more, a reasonable trade if you’re actually hungry for a full meal rather than a lighter snack-sized burger.

Should You Get the Whopper?
BK’s benchmark burger, and a safe default if you’re not sure what to order. It’s the flavor every other Whopper variation on the menu builds from.
