Convert time zones, count the days between dates, work out an exact age and run timers. Daylight saving comes from the IANA database, not from an assumption.

In short

Convert between time zones with automatic daylight saving, check the current time anywhere, and use a stopwatch, countdown or Pomodoro timer.

Overview

Time zones, daylight saving and calendar arithmetic cause more scheduling mistakes than anything else. These tools read the IANA time zone database, so daylight saving is handled for the actual date rather than assumed.

Time & Date Tools: frequently asked questions

Why does the time difference between two cities change?

Because countries start and end daylight saving on different dates, and some never use it at all. India stays at UTC+5:30 all year while the US moves twice, so the gap between them shifts by an hour in March and November.

What is the difference between EST and EDT?

They are the same place at different times of year: EST is standard time (UTC−5) from November to March, EDT is daylight time (UTC−4) from March to November. Writing 'Eastern Time' avoids picking the wrong one.

Do the timers keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes. They measure against the system clock rather than counting ticks, so the time left is correct even when the browser throttles a background tab.
