Convert between different time zones worldwide. Use this converter to find the time difference between various time zones and coordinate across different regions.
How to Convert Between Time Zones
Time zone conversion involves calculating the difference in UTC offsets between two time zones. Each time zone has a UTC offset (e.g., UTC-5 for EST, UTC+1 for CET). To convert from one zone to another, add or subtract the difference in their UTC offsets.
New Time = Current Time + (Target Offset - Current Offset)
Example: Converting from EST (UTC-5) to PST (UTC-8): subtract 3 hours
Common Time Zone Conversions
EST to PST: Subtract 3 hours (EST is ahead of PST)
UTC to EST: Subtract 5 hours (EST is behind UTC)
London to New York: Subtract 5 hours (London is ahead)
Tokyo to London: Subtract 9 hours (Tokyo is ahead)
