The formula
How to convert CAD to CHF
Converting CAD into CHF takes a single multiplication once you know the day's rate. On 21 September 2026 that rate is 0.588942, so:
CHF = CAD × 0.588942
Going the other way, divide instead of multiply — or multiply by 1.698, which amounts to the same thing: one Swiss Franc buys 1.698 Canadian Dollars.
The converter at the top of this page does both directions and updates as you type. Every result is recalculated on the server as well, so the number you see is the number that gets stored.
About the Canadian Dollar and the Swiss Franc
The Canadian Dollar (CAD, symbol C$) is the currency of Canada. The Swiss Franc (CHF, symbol CHF) is the currency of Switzerland.
Neither currency is pegged to the other, so the figure drifts from one session to the next. Everything on this page is a mid-market rate. Retail providers quote a spread around it and keep the difference.
Worked CAD to CHF examples
A price tag. Something marked C$50 comes to 29.4471 CHF. Round to 29 CHF for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. C$3,000 a month is 1766.83 CHF — useful when you are comparing a job offer across the two markets. Bear in mind the rate moves, so a figure agreed today will not be the figure paid out in six months.
Going the other way. If you are holding CHF1,000 and want to know what it buys in Canadian Dollars, that is 1697.96 CAD. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your C$500 would fetch roughly 285.64 CHF instead of 294.47 CHF. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.

No. This is the mid-market reference rate — the midpoint between what buyers and sellers are quoting. Banks, card issuers and bureaus add a margin, so expect somewhat less than shown. Use it as a benchmark to judge whether an offer is fair.
