About this tool
The clock above shows the current local time in New York — the business and media capital of the US East Coast — Wall Street, Broadway and the country's largest city. New York keeps Eastern Time (ET), and this page applies its daylight-saving rules automatically, so the time shown is the time on the wall there today.
Below the main clock you will find the difference between New York and your own local time right now, plus the current time in the other major cities — the fastest way to sanity-check a meeting time before you send the invite. All times update every second from the standard time-zone database.
How to use it
- Read the big clock — that is the time in New York at this second.
- Check the line beneath it for how far ahead or behind your local time that is.
- Use the city grid to convert the moment across the other major time zones.
Frequently asked questions
What time zone is New York in?
New York is on Eastern Time (ET) (America/New_York). This page converts using the official IANA time-zone rules, including daylight saving where it applies.
Is New York ahead of or behind me?
The page calculates it live and states it under the clock — for example “New York is 3 hours behind your local time” — based on both offsets right now.
Why does the difference change during the year?
If either your location or New York observes daylight saving and the other does not — or they change on different dates — the gap shifts by an hour for part of the year. The live figure on this page is always the current one.
