Time Zone Converter
Convert times between cities & time zones around the world
Convert a specific time from one city to another, anywhere in the world. Choose a date and time, set your "from" and "to" locations, and you'll see the converted time along with the exact difference between the two. Daylight saving is applied automatically for the date you pick, so a meeting set months ahead lands on the right hour.

Scheduling across zones without the mix-ups
The classic international scheduling mistake is agreeing on a time without agreeing whose time it is — "let's talk at three" means three very different moments in London, New York and Sydney. Two habits prevent almost all of the confusion. First, always state the zone alongside the time when you write it down ("3pm London time"), so there's nothing to misread.
Second, watch the fortnight around the clock changes in spring and autumn: because countries switch on different dates, a call that has reliably been 4pm your time for months can quietly shift by an hour for the other person until everyone has changed. Picking the actual date in this converter matters for that reason — it works out whether daylight saving is in force on that day rather than assuming today's offset holds all year.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a time between two time zones? ▼
Pick the date and time, set the "from" city to where that time is, and the "to" city to where you want it converted. The converter instantly shows the equivalent local time and the exact hour difference between the two locations.
Does it account for daylight saving time? ▼
Yes — the converter uses your browser's official timezone database, which automatically applies daylight saving time (DST) rules for the specific date you choose. Converting a date in winter vs summer correctly reflects the DST shift.
What's the time difference between London and New York? ▼
London is normally 5 hours ahead of New York. So 12:00 noon in London is 07:00 in New York. The gap stays at 5 hours for most of the year because both observe daylight saving, though it can briefly differ during the few weeks when their clock changes don't align.
How do I plan a meeting across time zones? ▼
Enter the proposed time in your own city as the "from" zone, then change the "to" zone to each participant's city to see what time it falls at for them. The live world clock below also helps you spot reasonable overlapping working hours.
