A single banana today typically costs about 20–40 cents in many supermarkets in the US and Europe, depending on size, store, and region.

Quick Scoop: What does a banana cost?

  • In many US grocery stores, bananas often run around 0.60–0.80 USD per pound, which works out to roughly 0.20–0.30 USD per average banana.
  • Wholesale and import data show bananas around 1.0–1.2 USD per kilogram into major markets, which is consistent with those retail prices once you add transport, store margins, and local taxes.
  • In parts of Europe, similar wholesale prices (roughly 1 EUR per kilogram) mean a single banana might be around 0.25–0.40 EUR at the supermarket.
