Why use this time zone converter?

Checking the time in another country can be confusing, especially when you're planning a meeting, calling someone abroad, or arranging a trip. This time zone converter gives you the local time for different cities in seconds.

It also accounts for daylight saving time and time zones with 30- or 45-minute differences, so you don't have to calculate the difference yourself.

How to use the time zone converter

  1. Select the date and time you want to convert, or choose Set to now.
  2. Select your starting city from the From option.
  3. Select the destination city from the To option.
  4. The converted local time will appear instantly.
  5. Check the time difference to see how many hours ahead or behind the other city is.
  6. Use Swap if you want to reverse the conversion.

Example

Suppose it is 9:00 AM in Dhaka. You can select Dhaka as the starting city and London, New York, or Tokyo as the destination to see their local time for the same moment.

This is useful when deciding whether it's a suitable time to call someone, schedule an online meeting, or check the local time before travelling.

Pro tips

  • Always select the correct date because the time difference can change with daylight saving time.
  • Check the displayed date as well as the time when converting between distant locations.
  • For international meetings, compare both locations before choosing a meeting time.
  • Use the Swap option when you need to check the conversion in the opposite direction.
  • Save or bookmark the tool if you regularly work with people in different time zones.
