The formula
How to convert CNY to CHF
Converting CNY into CHF takes a single multiplication once you know the day's rate. On 11 August 2026 that rate is 0.120178, so:
CHF = CNY × 0.120178
Going the other way, divide instead of multiply — or multiply by 8.321, which is the same thing: one Swiss Franc buys 8.321 Chinese Yuan.
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 Chinese Yuan and the Swiss Franc
The Chinese Yuan (CNY, symbol ¥) is the currency of China. The Swiss Franc (CHF, symbol CHF) is the currency of Switzerland.
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 CNY to CHF examples
A price tag. Something marked ¥50 comes to 6.0089 CHF. Round to 6 CHF for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. ¥3,000 a month is 360.53 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 Chinese Yuan, that is 8320.99 CNY. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your ¥500 would fetch roughly 58.2863 CHF instead of 60.089 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 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.
