Fr.100 in January 1955
Fr.469.27 in March 2026

The cumulative inflation rate in Switzerland between January 1955 and March 2026 was 369.27%, meaning that overall prices were 4.69 times higher than they were in January 1955. In other words, the purchasing power of Fr.100 in Jan 1955 was equivalent to Fr.469.27 in Mar 2026. The average annual inflation rate over this period was 0.18%.

Inflation timeline in Switzerland (Jan 1955 - Mar 2026)

The chart below shows how the value of Fr.100 changes over time when adjusted for inflation, based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. All values are equivalent in terms of purchasing power, indicating how much money would be needed each year to buy the same goods or services.

All calculations are performed in Swiss francs with six-decimal precision, though displayed values are rounded to two decimals for readability. Inflation figures are sourced from official government and international reports released monthly.

The following table contains relevant indicators:

Cumulative inflation from 1955-01 to 2026-03 369.27%
Avg. Monthly inflation from 1955-01 to 2026-03 0.18%
CPI 1955-01 23.03
CPI 2026-03 108.06

How to calculate the time value of money with inflation data?

There are several ways to calculate the time value of money. Depending on the data available, results can be obtained by using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) formula or the compound interest formula.

Using the CPI formula

When we have both the start and end months, we can use the following formula:

Valuet =Value0 ×
CPIt/CPI0

To obtain the values equivalent in buying power between January 1955 and March 2026, use the corresponding CPI values:

ValueMar 2026
=ValueJan 1955 ×
CPIMar 2026/CPIJan 1955
=Fr. 100 ×
108.06/23.03
Fr.469.27

Alternative: Using the compound interest formula

Given that money changes with time as a result of an inflation rate that acts as compound interest, we can use the following formula: FV = PV × (1 + i)n, where:

  • FV: Future Value
  • PV: Present Value
  • i: Interest rate (inflation)
  • n: Number of times the interest is compounded (i.e. # of months)

In this case, the future value represents the final amount obtained after applying the inflation rate to our initial value. In other words, it indicates how much are Fr.100 worth today. There are 854 months between January 1955 and March 2026 and the average inflation rate was 0.1812%. Therefore, we can resolve the formula like this:

ValueMar 2026
=PV × (1 + i)n
=Fr.100 × (1 + 0.001812)854
Fr.469.27
