There's a more current "Big Mac Index" here, Switzerland seems to still be on top:

Wikipedia has a decent explainer too.

Nice! Thanks. Looks like my numbers were a bit off due to being out of date. To anyone who wants to know, currently the Swiss Big Mac is 35.4% more expensive than the US one.
So pay is ~100% higher while food cost is ~35% higher. Assuming a $12.00/hr average wage in the US.
