ET to SGT Conversion Guide

What is ET to SGT Conversion?

ET to SGT conversion helps you translate time between Eastern Time and Singapore Time. Eastern Time switches between EST (UTC-5) in winter and EDT (UTC-4) in summer due to daylight saving time. Singapore Time is always UTC+8 and never changes, making it a stable reference point for Southeast Asian business hours.

Time Zone Information

Eastern Time (ET): Used in eastern North America. EST (UTC-5) during winter, EDT (UTC-4) during summer daylight saving time from March to November.

Singapore Time (SGT): Used in Singapore and nearby areas. Always UTC+8 with no daylight saving time adjustments year-round due to Singapore's equatorial location.

Time Difference: SGT is 13 hours ahead of EST, or 12 hours ahead of EDT during daylight saving time.

Daylight Saving Time Impact

Winter Period (EST): November to March - SGT is 13 hours ahead of EST

Summer Period (EDT): March to November - SGT is 12 hours ahead of EDT

SGT Consistency: Singapore Time never changes and maintains UTC+8 throughout the year

• Best meeting times: ET morning hours correspond to SGT evening hours

• SGT is the same as Hong Kong Time, Philippine Time, and Beijing Time

Convert Eastern Time to Singapore Time

If you’re trying to juggle a video call between New York and Singapore or manage global work hours, timing can quickly become a puzzle. This tool helps simplify the conversion between Eastern Time (ET) and Singapore Time (SGT) by giving you accurate, flexible options and live results. Here’s how the two time zones line up by country:

Eastern Time (ET, UTC-4 / UTC-5)	Singapore Time (SGT, UTC+8)
🇺🇸 United States 🇨🇦 Canada 🇧🇸 Bahamas 🇧🇲 Bermuda 🇭🇹 Haiti 🇨🇺 Cuba 🇯🇲 Jamaica 🇰🇾 Cayman Islands 🇹🇨 Turks and Caicos Islands 🇸🇽 Sint Maarten	🇸🇬 Singapore 🇲🇾 Malaysia 🇵🇭 Philippines 🇭🇰 Hong Kong 🇨🇳 China 🇹🇼 Taiwan 🇲🇴 Macao 🇧🇳 Brunei 🇦🇺 Western Australia 🇲🇳 Mongolia (some regions)

What this calculator actually does

This tool converts any specific time and date between Eastern Time and Singapore Time, adjusting for Daylight Saving Time when needed. Whether you're setting a meeting, planning travel, or just curious, it shows you the exact corresponding time down to the second. You can even toggle between 12-hour and 24-hour formats, or choose whether to display seconds and UTC offsets.

Why this might save you more than just a headache

If you've ever tried to coordinate between New York and Singapore, you know the time difference gets confusing fast. Eastern Time shifts for daylight saving, but Singapore never moves. That means a meeting that's 9 AM in March becomes 10 PM in Singapore, but in December it’s 11 PM. This calculator handles all of that, so you don’t have to do the math or wonder if you got it right.

How to use the converter step by step

Pick your time and date

Start by choosing the date and time you want to convert in the Eastern Time zone section. You’ll see two fields, one for the calendar and one for the time. This is your input starting point.

Choose your source timezone

Right below the date and time, use the dropdown to select if you're starting with Eastern Time or Singapore Time. This tells the tool which way to convert.

Adjust settings if needed

To fine-tune the output, check or uncheck the following:

Auto Convert: Updates results as you type or change values.
Daylight Saving Aware: Automatically accounts for daylight saving based on your selected date.
Show UTC Offset: Adds exact UTC values next to each zone.
Show Seconds: Displays time to the second.

Click Convert

Use the “Convert Time” button to see your result. Or hit the spacebar or enter key as a shortcut when you're not typing in a field.

Want to flip the direction?

Click “Swap” and the two time zones will trade places. The label, time, and everything will flip, keeping your input intact.

Built-in Tools that make things easier

Live current time display

At the bottom of the tool, you’ll always see the current live time in both Eastern and Singapore Time. It updates every second. Handy for a quick glance without converting.

Quick actions

Now: Sets the current time as your input automatically
Reset: Clears everything and returns to the default state
12/24 Hour: Toggles your preferred time format

Handles daylight saving behind the scenes

The calculator knows exactly when daylight saving starts and ends in the US. You won’t have to remember if it's EDT or EST in April or November, it will just show the correct time difference automatically.

One example: Connecting teams in Boston and Kuala Lumpur

Let’s say you’re working remotely with a software team in Boston and another in Kuala Lumpur. Boston runs on Eastern Time, and Kuala Lumpur shares the same time as Singapore. By dropping in a date and time from one end, this tool will tell you exactly what it is on the other. No mistakes. No awkward meeting times that fall outside working hours.

Stay in sync between East Coast mornings and Southeast Asian nights

This time converter takes the uncertainty out of international scheduling. Whether you’re working across continents, planning a webinar, or checking in with family, you’ll know the exact hour without scanning charts or doing mental math. Just set your time, pick your zone, and you’re set.
