IST to EST Converter
IST to EST Time Converter
Our IST to EST converter is a simple and efficient tool designed to help you convert time from Indian Standard Time (IST) to Eastern Standard Time (EST) and vice versa. This converter takes into account the 9.5 hour time difference between IST and EST during standard time and the 10.5 hour difference during daylight saving time, providing you with accurate time conversions for personal, business, or travel purposes.
Note: This app does not account for real-time changes in daylight saving time.
How the IST to EST Converter Works
The conversion process is straightforward and based on the time difference between the two zones. The formula for conversion is: EST Time = IST Time - 9.5 hours (during standard time) or EST Time = IST Time - 10.5 hours (during daylight saving time). For example, if it is 12:00 PM (noon) IST, the EST time would be 2:30 AM (during standard time) or 1:30 AM (during daylight saving time) on the same day.
| IST Time | EST Time (Standard) | EST Time (Daylight Saving) |
|---|---|---|
| 12:00 AM | 2:30 PM (previous day) | 1:30 PM (previous day) |
| 6:00 AM | 8:30 PM (previous day) | 7:30 PM (previous day) |
| 12:00 PM | 2:30 AM | 1:30 AM |
| 6:00 PM | 8:30 AM | 7:30 AM |
| 12:00 AM (next day) | 2:30 PM | 1:30 PM |
