Inflation analysis
Inflation in Switzerland
Switzerland has the lowest long-run inflation of any currency in this dataset. The Swiss franc's reputation as a store of value is not marketing — over decades, francs have lost purchasing power far more slowly than most other currencies.
Switzerland has also experienced outright deflation in the modern era, including during the 2010s, when the franc's strength against the euro pushed import prices down. Even during the global inflation surge of 2022, Swiss inflation peaked around 3.5%, a fraction of what neighbouring countries recorded.
The Swiss National Bank defines price stability as inflation below 2% per year, rather than targeting a specific rate.

Switzerland inflation FAQ
- What is the current inflation rate in Switzerland?
- Switzerland inflation was 0.50% in 2026, the most recent year in this dataset, measured as the change in the annual average consumer price index from 2025. The Swiss National Bank defines price stability as inflation below 2% per year, rather than targeting a specific rate.
- How much has Swiss Franc lost in value since 1870?
- CHF 100.00 in 1870 has the same purchasing power as CHF 1,092 in 2026. That is cumulative inflation of 992.19% over 156 years, an average of 1.54% per year.
- What years does this Switzerland inflation calculator cover?
- This calculator covers 157 years, from 1870 to 2026. You can convert an amount between any two years in that range.
- Can Swiss Franc inflation be negative?
- Yes. Negative inflation, or deflation, means prices fell and Swiss Franc gained purchasing power over that year. Switzerland recorded deflation in 41 of the 156 years measured here, most recently in 2020. The steepest fall was -18.00% in 1922.
- What is the difference between CPI and the inflation rate?
- The consumer price index (CPI) is a level: it measures the cost of a fixed basket of goods and services in a given year. The inflation rate is the percentage change in that level between two periods. This calculator uses the ratio of CPI values for your two chosen years to convert an amount between them.
