Enter any two cities to instantly see the time difference, live local clocks, an hour-by-hour conversion table, and the best window for scheduling calls across time zones.
Below are the most frequently searched city pairs. Each page includes live clocks, a full hour-by-hour conversion table, DST impact notes, and scheduling advice.
Every location on Earth is assigned a time zone defined as an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The time difference between two cities is simply the gap between their UTC offsets.
For example, New York operates on UTC-5 in winter and UTC-4 in summer, while London uses UTC+0 in winter and UTC+1 in summer. During winter the gap is 5 hours; during summer it stays at 5 hours because both shift. But during the brief windows when only one city has switched, the gap changes to 4 or 6 hours.
Daylight saving time (DST) is the main reason time differences shift throughout the year. Countries that observe DST "spring forward" (gaining an hour of evening daylight) and "fall back" at different dates. During these transition weeks, the usual time difference between two cities can be off by one hour from what you expect.
Not all time zones follow whole-hour offsets. India uses UTC+5:30, Nepal uses UTC+5:45, and Iran uses UTC+3:30. When one city is on a half-hour offset, the time difference will include 30 or 45 minutes, making conversion less intuitive. Our calculator handles these automatically.
