Jack in the Box Jumbo Jack: Calories, Price, Ingredients (2026)

The brand’s 2026 PDFs give the Jumbo Jack 520 calories, 23 g of protein and 700 mg of sodium. They also list milk among its allergens, though no ingredient statement we could match to the burger contains it. This page shows what the burger adds up to with cheese, sauces and a Jr. beside it, what it costs state by state, and where each number comes from.

The Jr. lists the same 700 mg of sodium as the Jumbo Jack, so on paper the Jumbo gives 120 more calories and 9 g more protein for no extra sodium. The Double Jack has 830 calories and 46 g of protein in a 313 g serving. Our price source has no reliable sample for it, so we show no estimate. Prices are app-pickup estimates and vary by location.

Checking the numbers

What cheese adds to a Jumbo Jack, checked against the brand's rows

The brand lists a Jumbo Jack Cheeseburger and a separate American Cheese row of 40 calories and 11 g. If the rows are consistent, the gap between a burger and its cheese version should be a whole number of those slices. It is, for both pairs, in calories and in grams. Other nutrients are off by a little because the PDF rounds every row on its own.

Jumbo Jack to Jumbo Jack Cheeseburger

2 slices of American cheese: 80 calories, which is 2 × 40, and 22 g, which is 2 × 11 g.

Why the Cheeseburger weighs 238 g, not 38 g

The brand’s nutrition PDF prints two serving sizes for the Jumbo Jack Cheeseburger. The Burgers & More table prints the serving size as 38 g (a typo in the PDF). The Jack's Deals table prints 238 g and the weights add up (Jumbo Jack 216 g + 2 cheese slices 22 g), so 238 g is used. Our own check agrees: 216 g for the plain burger plus 2 slices of 11 g is 238 g. A 38 g Cheeseburger would weigh less than the 216 g plain burger it is built from, which cannot be right.

What is on it

What is on a Jumbo Jack, and what the brand's ingredient statements say

The brand’s ingredient PDF (effective 2026-02-12 (from filename)) lists components alphabetically, such as buns, sauces and patties. It never says which components go on which burger. So we started from the menu description, matched each word to a component by name, and show the match and our reason for it. The description itself is quoted from other sites, because we could not open the brand’s own Jumbo Jack page.

The menu description

Reported
“100% beef seasoned as it grills, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, ketchup & mayo on a buttery bakery bun. *Jumbo isn't one of those ironic nicknames.”

Quoted word for word by menujackinthebox.com and PriceListo. menujackinthebox.com also lists how the burger comes: split top bun, large patty, lettuce, tomato, sliced onions, pickles, ketchup, mayo and butter, with bacon as an extra. Read November 11, 2026.

The Cheeseburger’s description

“100% beef seasoned as it grills, 2 slices of melty American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onions, ketchup & mayo on a buttery bakery bun.”

The slice count is why we can check the cheese maths: see the check.

Words people look for in an ingredient list

Searched across the statements in the table, not a brand statement about the burger.

  • High fructose corn syrupBun and Ketchup (in one of two printed bun versions)
  • Yellow 5 (a color)Pickles

  • Calcium propionate (a preservative)Bun
  • Calcium disodium EDTA (protects flavor)Mayonnaise
  • Polysorbate 80Pickles
  • Soybean oilBun, Toasting oil, Seasoning and Mayonnaise
  • Wheat glutenBun

Our reading of “or sugar”: the bun statement says high fructose corn syrup or sugar, and the other printed bun version lists sugar only. The PDF does not say which version a restaurant uses.

Allergens

Jumbo Jack allergens, where each one traces to, and the milk gap

Allergens here are the cautious union of two brand documents: the 2026 Nutrition Facts and the Allergens Reference Guide. If either lists an allergen for a burger, we list it. For every burger in this family the two documents agree. We have not tested any food.

  • Eggmayonnaise
  • Wheatbun, split top
  • Soybun, split top and butter flavored vegetable oil
  • Sesamebun, split top
  • Milkno matching statement

The milk gap, in plain terms

Both brand documents list milk for the plain Jumbo Jack. None of the statements for the bun, patty, seasoning, lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup or mayonnaise lists milk. The Cheeseburger’s American cheese does, which explains why that version lists it, but the plain burger has no cheese.

The PDF does not say which part carries it, and the menu description does not either. One site lists “butter” among the parts, but the brand’s bun statement says the bun is toasted with butter flavored vegetable oil, which lists soy. We cannot tell you the cause, and we will not guess. If you avoid milk, treat every Jumbo Jack as containing it and ask the restaurant.

Price

How much a Jack in the Box Jumbo Jack costs, state by state

Jack in the Box sets no single national price, so the honest answer is a spread. Our estimate comes from Drive Thru Index, which publishes the app-pickup price of each restaurant. It is an estimate, it is not a price list from the brand, and your restaurant may differ.

Our estimate for the Jumbo Jack

$5.69typical, est.

Range $3.99–$7.99 across 2,067 restaurants, app pickup, as of November 11, 2026.

Per 100 calories
$1.09
Per gram of protein
$0.25

From the item page at Drive Thru Index (opens in a new tab).

One catch: the same page’s price-history table shows $5.19 for today and $5.79 on 4 November 2026, while its headline and state table say $5.69. We cannot tell which is right. We use $5.69 because the state figures, weighted by restaurant count, average $5.64, which is closer to it.

Pick a state to see the typical price and the range. A state that is not listed has no restaurants in the tracker’s sample.

Oregon$7.50$5.99 to $7.5040
Hawaii$7.69$7.69 to $7.9928

Among the 15 states with at least 10 restaurants sampled, Utah is cheapest at a typical $4.29 and Hawaii the most expensive at $7.69, a gap of $3.40, or 79%. 10 states have a typical price under $5.00, and they hold 690 of the 2,067 restaurants (33%). The price also moves inside a state: California runs from $4.79 to $7.69, a $2.90 spread. Grey bars mark states with fewer than 10 restaurants, where one restaurant can move the figure.

Why other sites show a different Jumbo Jack price

Search the burger and you will see prices from $3.69 up to $7.50. They are not wrong so much as different: other dates, other cities and other ways of ordering. These are reports, read November 11, 2026, and none is our estimate.

It also shows what the burger would cost on each delivery app, fees included, as it calculates them. The tracker's typical Oregon price is the same $7.50, so that listing looks like an ordinary Oregon price and the extra is the delivery layer.

How to read a price you find

  • A price with no date or place, like the $4.99 and $3.69 reports above, tells you little. Menu prices at this chain have moved a lot between restaurants.
  • An average across cities, as PriceListo gives, hides the range. Our table shows each state’s own range.
  • Delivery apps add fees, and many list higher menu prices. Compare the app price with the in-store or pickup price before you assume a deal.
  • Meal deals have their own prices that other sites report. See the deals that use the Jumbo Jack.

Worth it?

Two Jr. Jumbo Jacks or one Jumbo Jack?

A fair question when the prices are close. This uses the brand’s rows for each burger and our price estimates for both, so it is only as good as those estimates, and your restaurant may price them differently.

One Jumbo Jack compared with two Jr. Jumbo Jacks
OrderPrice est.CaloriesProteinSodiumWeight
1 Jumbo Jack$5.6952023 g700 mg216 g
2 Jr. Jumbo Jacks$5.7880028 g1,400 mg302 g
Two Jrs minus one Jumbo+$0.09+280+5 g+700 mg+86 g

On our estimates two Jrs cost $5.78 and one Jumbo Jack $5.69, which is about the same, and the pair brings 280 more calories, 5 g more protein and 700 mg more sodium. Per 100 calories a Jr. costs $0.72 against $1.09 for the Jumbo Jack. This is arithmetic on estimates, not advice on what to eat: you may want one burger, not two.

Checking the 2 for $5 Jumbo Jack

Two Jumbo Jack rows add up to 1,040 calories and 1,400 mg of sodium. JackInBoxUSA reports 1,140 and JackBoxMenus reports 1,040. One of those figures matches the brand's rows and the other does not, so we trust the rows. Priced separately on our estimates, two Jumbo Jacks come to $11.38, so if the deal is available at that price in your restaurant it would be $6.38 below buying them one by one. That saving depends on a reported price we cannot confirm.

In context

Where the Jumbo Jack sits among the brand's burgers

All 15 burger rows in the brand’s 2026 PDF, from 330 to 1,120 calories. The Jumbo Jack and its relatives are highlighted. Each bar is that row’s calories, with the highest burger as the full width.

The Jumbo Jack is #6 of 15 for calories (1 is lowest), #10 for protein (1 is most) and #2 for sodium (1 is lowest), and #5 of 13 priced burgers by our estimates (1 is cheapest). At 520 calories it is 46% of the Bacon Double Smashed Jack. The burgers guide compares all 15 with price, allergens and a picker.

Customising

Customising a Jumbo Jack: what the brand's rows can and cannot tell you

The builder above adds the brand’s own add-on rows to any burger in the family. It stops where the brand’s numbers stop.

  • Adding cheese

    An American slice is 40 calories and 200 mg of sodium in the brand's own row. A Swiss-style slice is 40 calories and a real Swiss slice 70.

  • Sauces and onions

    The brand lists ketchup (0.57 oz.) at 20 calories, mayonnaise (0.25 oz.) at 80, mustard (0.19 oz.) at 5, Creamy Bacon Mayo (0.68 oz.) at 120 and grilled onions (0.71 oz.) at 10. These are portions listed on their own. The PDF does not say they match what goes on the burger, so we do not claim what leaving one off would save.

  • Adding bacon

    The brand's nutrition PDF has no row for bacon, although sites list it as an extra and the ingredient PDF has a statement for bacon slices. So there is no brand figure to add, and the builder cannot include it. The Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger guide works out what bacon adds to a burger by comparing two of the brand's rows.

  • Making it a meal

    The brand has no meal rows and no soda rows. To add fries or a drink to a Jumbo Jack, use the nutrition calculator, which adds any of the brand's rows, or see how other sites describe the combos in the value meals guide.

History

When the Jumbo Jack started, and what we could source

Plenty of pages repeat a year or a story about this burger. Below is what we could tie to a dated source, with what kind of source it is, and one popular claim we left out.

  1. 1971

    Reported by a publication

    The chain introduced the Jumbo Jack in 1971. QSR Magazine says it was considered one of the largest burgers in the quick-service industry at the time, and a company timeline in Hatch Magazine lists it under 1971.

  2. 1971 to 1975

    Public record

    The JUMBO JACK trademark for hamburger sandwiches was filed on November 23, 1971, with first use claimed on October 20, 1971. It was registered on July 15, 1975 under number 1016137, originally to Foodmaker, Inc., and the record's status was set to registered and renewed on October 28, 2025. The first-use date is the one the applicant claimed in the filing, so it supports a 1971 launch without proving the exact day.

  3. 1988

    Company claim

    In 1988 Mo Iqbal, then Foodmaker's overall product development manager, told the San Diego Reader that Jack in the Box was among the first few companies to bring out a quarter-pound burger, naming the Jumbo Jack, and that the burger had been around for more than sixteen years. That is the company's own claim, and the brand's current PDFs publish no patty weight to check it against.

A claim we left out: the Secret Sauce

A fan wiki says the Jumbo Jack came with Jack's Secret Sauce until May 1999, when ketchup replaced it. The source is Jack in the Box Wiki (Fandom) (opens in a new tab). Editable by anyone and not confirmed by a primary source, so it stays out of the history above. The brand does sell a separate Secret Sauce (1 packet) row at 30 calories, and the Jumbo Jack’s description quoted above lists ketchup and mayo only.

FAQ

Jack in the Box Jumbo Jack questions

What comes on a Jumbo Jack and where does that description come from?

The wording quoted by menujackinthebox.com and PriceListo is: “100% beef seasoned as it grills, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, ketchup & mayo on a buttery bakery bun. *Jumbo isn't one of those ironic nicknames.” One of them lists the parts as split top bun, large patty, lettuce, tomato, sliced onions, pickles, ketchup, mayo, and butter. We could not open the brand's own Jumbo Jack page, so this is a quoted description, not something we confirmed at the source. The brand's ingredient PDF lists components alphabetically and does not say which belong to which burger.

How do the calories compare across the Jumbo Jack, the Cheeseburger and the Jr. versions?

By the brand's 2026 nutrition PDF: Jumbo Jack 520, Jumbo Jack Cheeseburger 600, Jr. Jumbo Jack 400, Jr. Jumbo Jack Cheeseburger 440 and Double Jack 830. The Jumbo Jack is 26% of a 2,000-calorie day, a reference figure from US labels and not a target for you.

How much protein, fat and sodium does a Jumbo Jack have?

23 g of protein, 33 g of total fat (10 g saturated) and 700 mg of sodium, which is 30% of the FDA Daily Value of 2,300 mg, in a 216 g serving. That is 4.4 g of protein per 100 calories. Among the 15 burgers on this site it ranks #10 for protein (1 is most) and #2 for sodium (1 is lowest).

What price should I expect for a Jumbo Jack, and why do websites disagree?

Our estimate is $5.69 for app pickup, from 2,067 restaurants as of November 11, 2026, with a range of $3.99–$7.99. Outside pages show anything from $3.69 to $7.50 for the same burger because they cover different dates, places and ordering channels, and 2 of them show no date at all. Price varies by location, so treat ours as an estimate.

Which state has the cheapest Jumbo Jack?

Among the 15 states with at least 10 restaurants in the sample, Utah has the lowest typical price ($4.29) and Hawaii the highest ($7.69), a gap of $3.40 or 79%. California has the most restaurants sampled (914) at a typical $5.99. These are Drive Thru Index's figures as of November 11, 2026.

Is two Jr. Jumbo Jacks cheaper than one Jumbo Jack?

On our estimates, two Jr. Jumbo Jacks cost $5.78 against $5.69 for one Jumbo Jack, $0.09 more. You would get 800 calories and 28 g of protein against 520 and 23 g, plus 1,400 mg of sodium against 700 mg. Prices differ by restaurant, so check yours.

How many calories does cheese add to a Jumbo Jack?

80. The Jumbo Jack Cheeseburger is 600 calories against 520, and the brand's American Cheese row is 40 calories a slice, so the Cheeseburger carries 2 slices. The weights agree: 22 g more, and 2 slices of 11 g is 22 g. On the Jr. version, one slice adds 40.

Why does the Jumbo Jack list milk as an allergen when it has no cheese?

The brand's nutrition PDF and its allergen guide both list milk, egg, wheat, soy, and sesame for the Jumbo Jack. When we matched the ingredient statements for the bun, patty, seasoning, vegetables, ketchup and mayonnaise, egg, wheat, soy, and sesame trace back to a component and milk does not. The PDF does not say which part carries it, so we cannot tell you. If milk matters to you, ask the restaurant. This is a gap in what the brand publishes, not a finding about the food.

Does the Jumbo Jack have sesame on the bun?

The brand lists sesame as an allergen for the Jumbo Jack and notes that buns may contain sesame. The brand's split top bun statement is printed in 2 versions, and one lists sesame flour and the other does not, which fits a regional difference. The PDF does not say which version your restaurant uses, so treat sesame as present.

Is the Jumbo Jack really a quarter pound?

The brand's PDFs publish a weight for the whole burger, 216 g for the Jumbo Jack, and none for the patty, so we cannot check it. The only support we found is a 1988 quote from a company executive, set out in the history section. It is the company's own claim, not a figure the brand publishes now.

Does the Jumbo Jack still come with Secret Sauce?

The description quoted above lists ketchup and mayo and no Secret Sauce. The brand sells a separate Secret Sauce (1 packet) row at 30 calories. One fan wiki says the burger once came with it. Anyone can edit that wiki and no primary source confirms it, so we left it out of the history.

When did Jack in the Box introduce the Jumbo Jack?

It launched in 1971, according to QSR Magazine and Hatch Magazine, and the trademark record gives a first-use date in the same year. The history section shows each source and its date.

Does the Jumbo Jack contain high fructose corn syrup or artificial color?

We searched the ingredient statements we matched to the burger. High fructose corn syrup appears in the bun and ketchup statements, though the bun statement says “or sugar” and the other printed bun version lists only sugar. Yellow 5, a color, appears in the pickles statement. The PDF does not map components to menu items, so this is a match on the burger's description, not a brand statement about the burger.

How many calories are in the 2 for $5 Jumbo Jack deal?

The brand has no row for the deal. Two Jumbo Jack rows add up to 1,040 calories. JackBoxMenus reports 1,040, while JackInBoxUSA reports 1,140, which the brand's rows do not support. The deal's price and availability are reports from other sites (2 sites) and vary by restaurant.

Do delivery apps charge more for a Jumbo Jack?

At one Woodburn, OR restaurant, PriceListo lists the burger at $7.50 and shows delivery totals with fees of $11.18 on DoorDash, $12.65 on Uber Eats, and $13.34 on GrubHub, which is 49% to 78% more. That is one restaurant on one page dated October 24, 2026, so use it as an example of the gap, not a rule.

How many calories do cheese, sauce and other add-ons add to a Jumbo Jack?

By the brand's own add-on rows: American cheese 40 per slice, ketchup (0.57 oz.) 20, mayonnaise (0.25 oz.) 80, mustard (0.19 oz.) 5 and Creamy Bacon Mayo (0.68 oz.) 120. The brand publishes no row for bacon slices, so we cannot give a figure for adding bacon. The builder above adds these rows to any burger in the family.

How we built this

Sources and method

Reviewed November 11, 2026. Nutrition, weights, allergens and ingredient statements come from the brand’s own PDFs, which we read and checked against each other. The menu description, history and outside prices come from the websites named below and are labelled with who said it. Numbers on this page are computed from our data files.

Brand documents used for every nutrition and allergen number

Prices

The item estimate and the state table both come from Drive Thru Index (opens in a new tab): Daily check of every restaurant's menu through the brand's ordering app; item pages give the national low / typical / high. Latest check used on this page: November 11, 2026. Pickup prices at every Jack in the Box, by state, as the tracker publishes them. The 'typical' figure is the tracker's own summary for the state. Not an official price list.

Other websites we read

They are quoted as reports and never replace a brand document. Each link opens the page we read.

FDA reference pages

Method and limits

  • Prices are our app-pickup estimates from the source above, labelled as estimates. The state table repeats that source’s own figures. Price varies by location, and a tracker can lag a restaurant’s real price.
  • A state is called cheapest or priciest only if at least 10 restaurants were sampled in it. The line of $5.00 in the state summary is a plain threshold we chose, not a brand claim.
  • The description of the burger is quoted from other sites, because we could not open the brand’s own Jumbo Jack page. The ingredient statements are the brand’s, matched to the burger by name and not by the brand.
  • Allergens are the union of the brand’s nutrition PDF and Allergens Reference Guide, the cautious reading. We have not tested any food and do not say any item is right for an allergy.
  • Add-on totals add the brand’s rows. “% of a day” divides calories by 2,000, the reference figure on US labels, not a recommendation for you. Sodium percentages use the FDA Daily Value of 2,300 mg.
  • The pictures are original illustrations drawn for this site, not photographs of the products, and use no brand logo.
