The formula
How to convert CHF to CNY
Converting CHF into CNY takes a single multiplication once you know the day's rate. On 11 August 2026 that rate is 8.321, so:
CNY = CHF × 8.321
Going the other way, divide instead of multiply — or multiply by 0.120178, which is the same thing: one Chinese Yuan buys 0.120178 Swiss Francs.
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 Swiss Franc and the Chinese Yuan
The Swiss Franc (CHF, symbol CHF) is the currency of Switzerland. The Chinese Yuan (CNY, symbol ¥) is the currency of China.
Rates between these two shift with interest-rate decisions, trade figures and general market mood. The figures here are mid-market reference rates pulled from a public daily feed; they are the rate you will see quoted in the news, not the rate a retail exchange will hand you over the counter.
Worked CHF to CNY examples
A price tag. Something marked CHF50 comes to 416.05 CNY. Round to 416 CNY for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. CHF3,000 a month is 24962.98 CNY — 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 ¥1,000 and want to know what it buys in Swiss Francs, that is 120.18 CHF. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your CHF500 would fetch roughly 4035.68 CNY instead of 4160.5 CNY. 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 exchange bureaus add a margin on top, so expect to receive somewhat less than the figure shown here. Use it as a benchmark to judge whether an offer is fair.
