US time zones at a glance
When it's 12:00 PM in New York:
| Time zone | Example city | Winter (Jan 15, 2026) | Summer (Jul 15, 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eastern | New York | 12:00 PM | 12:00 PM |
| Central | Chicago | 11:00 AM | 11:00 AM |
| Mountain | Denver | 10:00 AM | 10:00 AM |
| Pacific | Los Angeles | 9:00 AM | 9:00 AM |
| Alaska | Anchorage | 8:00 AM | 8:00 AM |
| Hawaii | Honolulu | 7:00 AM | 6:00 AM |
Hawaii doesn't use daylight saving time, so it's 5 hours behind New York in winter but 6 in summer. Most of Arizona also stays on standard time all year, matching Denver in winter and Los Angeles in summer.
Daylight saving time in 2026
In the US, clocks spring forward one hour on Sunday, March 8, 2026 and fall back on Sunday, November 1, 2026, both at 2:00 AM local time. Europe changes on different dates (the last Sundays of March and October), so for a few weeks each year the gap between the US and the UK is one hour smaller than usual. That's when meeting invites most often go wrong — and it's why this converter uses the actual date you pick.

Frequently asked questions
Does this account for daylight saving time?
Yes — the conversion uses your browser's built-in timezone database, which automatically applies the correct daylight saving rules for the date you pick, not just a fixed UTC offset.
Is my time data sent anywhere?
No — the conversion runs entirely in your browser using standard JavaScript time zone APIs.
Why does the result look different a few months apart for the same cities?
Some regions observe daylight saving time and others don't, so the gap between two cities' clocks can shift by an hour depending on the time of year.
What is the time difference between New York and Los Angeles?
Three hours. Los Angeles (Pacific Time) is 3 hours behind New York (Eastern Time) all year, because both observe daylight saving time on the same dates.
When does daylight saving time start and end in 2026?
In the US it starts on Sunday, March 8, 2026 and ends on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 2:00 AM local time. Hawaii and most of Arizona don't change their clocks.
