Why it matters
SWISSTOVAL, the historical money-value calculator of the University of Bern, converts Swiss sums between any year from 1600 to 2025. It offers a consumer price index, a wage index, a GDP index, and a GDP per capita index. A second calculator converts early modern gold and silver coins such as Taler and Batzen for 1600 to 1850.
The data is based on conditions in Bern, so results do not transfer directly to other cantons. The best index depends on the research question, and the site explains each index and gives worked examples.
