About this time

The United States spans six time zones from Eastern to Hawaii-Aleutian. Business hours on the East Coast often anchor national media and finance, while the West Coast runs three hours behind. When you schedule across states, always confirm whether daylight saving time is active—Arizona (except Navajo Nation) and Hawaii do not observe it.

United States uses the IANA zone America/New_York. The offset adjusts automatically for daylight saving time when applicable.

Daylight saving and seasonal changes

Most US states spring forward on the second Sunday in March and fall back on the first Sunday in November. Exceptions include most of Arizona and all of Hawaii.

Practical tip

For a call from New York to Los Angeles at 9:00 local Eastern time, it is 6:00 Pacific—check the comparator if the date crosses a DST transition.

FAQ

Why can the displayed time shift during the year?
Many regions change their official offset twice a year for daylight saving time. We hold one absolute instant internally (UTC) and convert using the curated IANA zone for that moment.
Why do some countries have several time zones?
Large countries such as the United States, Canada, Russia, or Brazil cover several offsets. We show the primary zone and let you pick others when available.
How does the comparator work?
Pick two to four countries, set a reference country with a date and time, and the tool projects that instant to every row.
