The formula
How to convert GBP to CHF
Turning British Pounds into Swiss Francs needs nothing more than today's rate and a multiplication. On 18 August 2026 that rate is 1.0983, so:
CHF = GBP × 1.0983
Reverse the direction and you divide rather than multiply. Equivalently, one Swiss Franc is worth 0.910526 British Pounds.
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 British Pound and the Swiss Franc
The British Pound (GBP, symbol £) is the currency of the United Kingdom. The Swiss Franc (CHF, symbol CHF) is the currency of Switzerland.
The rate is set by continuous trading, which is why it rarely reads the same two days running. Everything on this page is a mid-market rate. Retail providers quote a spread around it and keep the difference.
Worked GBP to CHF examples
A price tag. Something marked £50 comes to 54.9133 CHF. Round to 55 CHF for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. £3,000 a month is 3294.8 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 British Pounds, that is 910.53 GBP. 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 532.66 CHF instead of 549.13 CHF. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
As of 18 August 2026, 1.0983 Swiss Francs buys what one British Pound does. That figure is pulled from a public reference feed once a day.

Almost certainly not. What you see here is the mid-market rate, the midpoint of the market. Every retail provider takes a cut on top of it. The value of knowing the mid-market figure is being able to measure that cut.
