The formula
How to convert CAD to CHF
Converting CAD into CHF takes a single multiplication once you know the day's rate. On 11 August 2026 that rate is 0.581811, so:
CHF = CAD × 0.581811
Going the other way, divide instead of multiply — or multiply by 1.7188, which amounts to the same thing: one Swiss Franc buys 1.7188 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.
Note: the rate feed has not refreshed recently, so the figure above may lag the market.
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 29.0905 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 1745.43 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 1718.77 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 282.18 CHF instead of 290.91 CHF. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
One Canadian Dollar is worth 0.581811 Swiss Francs as of 11 August 2026. The rate comes from the daily reference feed and refreshes automatically every morning.

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.
