Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

The Unidad de Fomento (UF) is the main monetary unit used in Chile for calculating wages, pensions, and other social benefits. This calculator helps you convert UF values to Chilean pesos (CLP) using the current exchange rate.

What is UF?

The Unidad de Fomento (UF) is a monetary unit established by the Chilean government to provide a stable reference for calculating wages, pensions, and other social benefits. It was created in 1977 to help protect workers' purchasing power against inflation.

The value of the UF is determined by the Central Bank of Chile and is adjusted monthly based on the consumer price index (CPI). This adjustment helps maintain the purchasing power of the UF over time.

The current value of the UF is approximately 36,000 CLP (as of June 2023). However, this value fluctuates monthly based on economic conditions.

How to Convert UF to Pesos

Converting UF to Chilean pesos (CLP) is straightforward once you know the current exchange rate. The formula for the conversion is:

Pesos Chilenos = UF × Current UF Value

For example, if you have 1 UF and the current UF value is 36,000 CLP, then:

1 UF × 36,000 CLP/UF = 36,000 CLP

To convert multiple UF values, simply multiply the number of UF by the current UF value.

Historical UF Values

The value of the UF has fluctuated over the years due to changes in the Chilean economy. Here are some historical values:

Year Average UF Value (CLP)
2010 25,000
2015 28,000
2020 32,000
2023 36,000

These historical values show how the purchasing power of the UF has changed over time. The current value reflects the economic conditions in Chile.

Practical Examples

Here are some practical examples of converting UF to Chilean pesos:

  1. Example 1: If your salary is 1.5 UF and the current UF value is 36,000 CLP, then:

    1.5 UF × 36,000 CLP/UF = 54,000 CLP
  2. Example 2: If you receive a pension of 2 UF and the current UF value is 36,000 CLP, then:

    2 UF × 36,000 CLP/UF = 72,000 CLP
  3. Example 3: If you have savings of 0.75 UF and the current UF value is 36,000 CLP, then:

    0.75 UF × 36,000 CLP/UF = 27,000 CLP

These examples show how the UF can be used to calculate different types of financial transactions in Chile.
