ET to NPT Conversion Guide

What is ET to NPT Conversion?

ET to NPT conversion helps you translate time between Eastern Time and Nepal Time. Eastern Time alternates between EST (UTC-5) in winter and EDT (UTC-4) in summer with daylight saving time. Nepal Time is always UTC+5:45 and never changes throughout the year. The time difference varies between 9 hours 45 minutes (during EDT) and 10 hours 45 minutes (during EST), with NPT always ahead.

Time Zone Information

Eastern Time (ET): Used in eastern United States and parts of Canada. Switches between EST (UTC-5) and EDT (UTC-4) based on daylight saving time.

Nepal Time (NPT): The standard time zone for Nepal. Always UTC+5:45 throughout the year with no daylight saving adjustments.

Unique Offset: NPT is one of only three time zones worldwide with a 45-minute offset from UTC.

Daylight Saving Time Impact

EDT Period (March-November): ET is UTC-4, making NPT 9 hours 45 minutes ahead

EST Period (November-March): ET is UTC-5, making NPT 10 hours 45 minutes ahead

NPT Consistency: Nepal Time never changes and maintains UTC+5:45 year-round

Why this converter might save you more than just time

If you've ever tried to arrange a Zoom call between someone in Boston and someone in Kathmandu, you know how tricky it can be. Eastern Time shifts with daylight saving. Nepal Time does not. And the 45-minute offset? That adds another layer of confusion. This calculator handles all of it for you with just a few clicks.

Getting started: How to use the tool

Pick your starting time

Begin by selecting the date and time in the input section. By default, this starts in Eastern Time, but you can flip it to Nepal Time using the "Swap" button if you're working in reverse.

Choose your source timezone

The dropdown lets you toggle between ET and NPT as your input timezone. The converter automatically adjusts the labels and knows which side is which.

Hit convert or let it work automatically

If "Auto Convert" is on, the result updates every time you change the date or time. Otherwise, you can press the "Convert Time" button. Either way, your result appears clearly with the full time, date, and timezone label.

Need to double-check right now?

Click the "Now" button to instantly fill in the current time based on your selected input zone. Then convert that instantly to see what time it is across the globe.

Handy features built in

Handles daylight saving automatically

Eastern Time changes throughout the year, but you don’t have to think about it. With "Daylight Saving Aware" checked (it is by default), the tool detects whether it’s EST or EDT and adjusts accordingly.

UTC offset and seconds if you want them

Want to see the exact UTC offset? Toggle the "Show UTC Offset" box. Prefer a lean display? Uncheck "Show Seconds" to simplify the output. These toggles are right in the Conversion Settings panel.

Switch formats easily

Prefer 24-hour time over 12-hour AM/PM? Use the "Time Format" toggle button. This affects both the live clocks and the converted result.

Live clock for both zones

Keep track of what time it is right now in both ET and NPT thanks to the live display below the converter. It updates every second, so it's always accurate.

Small details that make a big difference

Most timezone Tools stick to whole hours. This one doesn’t cut corners. It accounts for Nepal’s unusual UTC+5:45 offset, making it one of only a few tools that actually handles this properly. Plus, you can test conversions across different seasons to confirm how your meeting time changes depending on the month.

Use case: Coordinating between US and Nepal offices

Imagine you're a project manager in Washington, DC working with a software team based in Lalitpur, Nepal. You want to set up a sprint review at 10:00 AM your time. But is that too late for your teammates? Using this tool, you’ll see instantly that 10:00 AM ET in July becomes 7:45 PM in Nepal. That helps you pick a time that works for everyone without back-and-forth or calendar errors.

Stay ahead by knowing what time it really is

Whether you're booking meetings, planning travel, or checking when to call your cousin abroad, this ET to NPT converter helps you avoid the classic timezone slipups. It gives you real answers fast and makes sure you're never ten hours too early (or late).
