The formula
How to convert USD to CHF
Turning US Dollars into Swiss Francs needs nothing more than today's rate and a multiplication. On 1 October 2026 that rate is 0.834604, so:
CHF = USD × 0.834604
Reverse the direction and you divide rather than multiply. Equivalently, one Swiss Franc is worth 1.1982 US 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 US Dollar and the Swiss Franc
The US Dollar (USD, symbol $) is the currency of the United States. 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 USD to CHF examples
A price tag. Something marked $50 comes to 41.7302 CHF. Round to 42 CHF for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. $3,000 a month is 2503.81 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 US Dollars, that is 1198.17 USD. 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 404.78 CHF instead of 417.3 CHF. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
Today's reading is 0.834604 CHF per US Dollar, recorded 1 October 2026. The daily feed updates it each morning without any action on your part.
That works out at 83.460392 CHF for 100 USD. Type a different figure into the converter to see it change as you go.
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.
