The formula
How to convert CHF to CAD
To convert Swiss Francs to Canadian Dollars, multiply the amount by the current exchange rate. On 1 October 2026 that rate is 1.701, so:
CAD = CHF × 1.701
Going the other way, divide instead of multiply — or multiply by 0.587892, which amounts to the same thing: one Canadian Dollar buys 0.587892 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 Canadian Dollar
The Swiss Franc (CHF, symbol CHF) is the currency of Switzerland. The Canadian Dollar (CAD, symbol C$) is the currency of Canada.
Like any pair, the rate reflects what traders will pay at that moment, not a fixed value. The feed publishes mid-market figures, which is what financial reporting cites. Actual exchange costs a margin on top.
Worked CHF to CAD examples
A price tag. Something marked CHF50 comes to 85.0496 CAD. Round to 85 CAD for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. CHF3,000 a month is 5102.98 CAD — 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 C$1,000 and want to know what it buys in Swiss Francs, that is 587.89 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 824.98 CAD instead of 850.5 CAD. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.

No — treat it as the reference point, not the offer. Exchange desks quote a spread around the mid-market rate and keep the difference. Comparing their quote with the figure above tells you what the convenience is costing you.
