These examples always use WITA (UTC+8) and EST (UTC-5). They stay the same when you change the date or time above. The selected conversion may differ when daylight saving time applies.

WITA is 13 hours ahead of EST.

EST is US Eastern winter time (early November to mid-March). The rest of the year New York uses EDT (UTC-4), one hour later. For Eastern Time that follows daylight saving time, use WITA to ET. For daylight-time examples, use WITA to EDT.

How the time difference changes

For most of the year, WITA is 12 hours ahead of EDT. From Nov 1, 2026 to Mar 14, 2027, WITA is 13 hours ahead of EST.

For most of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in WITA correspond to 9:00 pm (previous day) to 6:00 am in EDT. At other times of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in WITA correspond to 8:00 pm (previous day) to 5:00 am in EST.For most of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in WITA correspond to 21:00 (previous day) to 06:00 in EDT. At other times of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in WITA correspond to 20:00 (previous day) to 05:00 in EST.
