Abstract: Let $E$ be a fiber $F$ bundle over a base $B$ such that $E,F$ and $B$ are smooth compact complex algebraic varieties. In this paper we give explicit formulae for the difference of the Hirzebruch $ch{i}_y$-genus $ch{i}_y(E)-ch{i}_y(F)ch{i}_y(B)$. As a byproduct of the formulae we obtain that the signature of such a fiber bundle is multiplicative mod $4$, i.e. the signature difference $sigma(E)-sigma(F)sigma(B)$ is always divisible by $4$. In the case of $operatorname{dim}_{mathbbC}Eleqq4$ the $ch{i}_y$-genus difference $ch{i}_y(E)-ch{i}_y(F)ch{i}_y(B)$ can be concretely described only in terms of the signature difference $sigma(E)-sigma(F)sigma(B)$ and/or the Todd genus difference $au(E)-au(F)au(B)$. Using this we can obtain that in order for $ch{i}_y$ to be multiplicative $ch{i}_y(E)=ch{i}_y(F)cdotch{i}_y(B)$ for any such fiber bundle $y$ has to be $-1$, namely only the Euler-Poincar'e characteristic is multiplicative for any such fiber bundle.
