A tool built for anyone juggling time zones

This converter helps you instantly translate time between Eastern Time (ET) and Malaysia Time (MYT). Whether you're in New York or Kuala Lumpur, it figures out the exact corresponding hour with daylight saving adjustments. It’s especially useful for people scheduling meetings, coordinating with remote teams, or just trying to catch up with friends or family on the other side of the world.

How it works behind the scenes

The tool starts with two time zones: ET, which shifts between Eastern Standard Time (EST) and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), and MYT, which remains steady year-round. You input the date and time in either zone, and it does all the calculations for you, taking daylight saving time into account if you choose to enable it.

It uses precise UTC offsets for each zone, automatically adjusts for DST, and clearly shows both the time difference and UTC offsets if you want them. There’s even a live display of the current time in both zones that updates every second.

Step-by-step: How to use the converter

1. Pick your starting time

Select a date and time using the input fields on the left side. You can start from either ET or MYT, depending on which direction you're converting.

2. Choose your base timezone

Use the dropdown to select whether your input time is in Eastern Time or Malaysia Time.

3. Adjust the settings if needed

You can choose to enable or disable these options:

Auto Convert: Updates results as you change inputs
Daylight Saving Aware: Takes DST changes into account (enabled by default)
Show UTC Offset: Displays the exact UTC offsets like -04:00 or +08:00
Show Seconds: Adds seconds to your time result for precision

4. Use the control buttons

Convert: Click or hit Enter/Space to calculate the time
Swap: Flip the direction of the conversion (ET to MYT or vice versa)
Now: Instantly fill in the current time in your selected input zone
Reset: Return everything to the original defaults

5. View your results

The converted time appears on the right, along with extra info like time difference, UTC offsets, and formatted outputs for both time zones. You’ll also see whether the US is on daylight time or standard time at that moment.

One real-life use case: Kuala Lumpur to Washington, D.C.

Let’s say you're planning a video call between a team in Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾 and a client in Washington, D.C. 🇺🇸. By entering 9:00 AM MYT into the calculator, you’ll instantly get the matching time in ET—either 8:00 PM the previous day (if it’s daylight time in the US) or 7:00 PM (if it’s standard time). It keeps you from second-guessing or flipping through time zone maps.

Helpful extras you might not notice at first

Live clocks: The current time in both zones updates every second at the bottom
Keyboard shortcuts: Press S to swap, N to set now, R to reset, F to toggle formats
12/24 Hour toggle: Use the button at the bottom to flip formats as you like

The tool also automatically figures out whether your selected date falls into EDT or EST in the US, and adjusts the results based on that. That’s something most converters don’t handle properly.

If your time is precious, this tool pays for itself in seconds

Instead of memorizing time differences, fumbling with clocks, or dealing with missed calls, this converter does it all in one place. ET and MYT might be worlds apart, but with this tool, syncing schedules is as simple as picking a date and clicking a button. No guesswork, no confusion. Just the time you need, exactly when you need it.
