Time Zone Converter

Enter a date and time in one place, pick the two time zones, and see the equivalent time — with daylight saving applied automatically.

Quick answer: how to convert between time zones

Subtract the source zone's UTC offset to get UTC, then add the target zone's offset. Example: 10:00 AM in India = 23:30 (11:30 PM) the previous day in New York in January, and 12:30 AM the same day in July (daylight saving).

Overview of the Time Zone Calculator

The Time Zone Calculator converts a date and time from one time zone to another. Choose the date and clock time, select the zone you are converting from and the zone you are converting to, and it shows the exact local time there, the UTC offset, whether daylight saving time is in effect, and how far ahead or behind the two places are. A table also shows the same moment in other major cities.

It is useful for scheduling meetings and calls across countries, planning travel, joining live events and webinars, and working with teams in India, the US, the UK, the Middle East, Singapore or Australia. Unlike calculators that use a fixed hour difference, this one applies daylight saving rules for the specific date, so “10:00 AM in India” is correct for both January and July in New York.

How We Convert Time Zones

  1. Find the instant you mean. Your date and clock time are interpreted in the “From” zone, using that zone's offset for that date (including daylight saving if it applied).
  2. Convert to UTC. The offset is subtracted to get Coordinated Universal Time, the common reference for all zones.
  3. Convert to the target zone. The “To” zone's offset on that date is added to the UTC instant to get its local date and time.
  4. Handle daylight-saving edge cases. If your clock time does not exist (clocks skipped forward) it is moved to the next valid time; if it happens twice (clocks went back) the earlier occurrence is used, and the page tells you.
UTC time = local time in “From” zone − its UTC offset
target local time = UTC time + UTC offset of the “To” zone
example: 10:00 IST (UTC+5:30) = 04:30 UTC → 23:30 previous day in New York (UTC−5:00, January)

Time Zone Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert time between time zones?

Convert the local time to UTC by subtracting that zone's UTC offset, then add the offset of the target zone. For example, 10:00 in India (UTC+5:30) is 04:30 UTC, which is 23:30 the previous day in New York in January (UTC−5:00).

What is the time difference between India and the USA?

It changes with daylight saving. India is 10 hours 30 minutes ahead of US Eastern time in winter (EST) and 9 hours 30 minutes ahead in summer (EDT). Pacific time is 13:30 behind in winter and 12:30 behind in summer.

What is the difference between GMT and UTC?

UTC is the modern time standard based on atomic clocks; GMT is a time zone (the UK's winter time) that matches UTC. For everyday use they are the same time.

Does the calculator handle daylight saving time?

Yes. It uses the date you enter to decide whether each zone is on daylight saving time, so results are right in both summer and winter.

Why is the date different in the other zone?

Zones are up to 26 hours apart across the globe, so when it is morning in India it can still be the previous evening in the Americas.

Does India have daylight saving time?

No. India uses Indian Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30) all year.

What happens if I choose a time that doesn't exist because of daylight saving?

When clocks skip forward, some clock times (such as 02:30 on the spring-forward day in the US) never occur. The calculator moves it to the next valid time and shows a note.

What if the time happens twice when clocks go back?

The calculator uses the earlier occurrence and tells you the time is repeated, so you can adjust if you meant the later one.

Which time zones are supported?

More than 40 major zones across Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, Australia and the Pacific, including India, UTC, the main US and European zones, the Gulf, Singapore, Japan and Australia.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. The conversion runs in your browser using its built-in time zone database; nothing you enter is uploaded or stored.
