Convert SGT to ET

Singapore Time (SGT) to Eastern Time (ET)

Singapore is a major finance and tech hub, and teams coordinating with New York for NYSE-SGX overlap, banking operations, or engineering handoffs search this regularly. The 13-hour gap (12 during EDT) means one team is always outside normal hours.

When it's 12:00 PM in Singapore, it's 12:00 AM in New York

On Jan 1 – Mar 7, 2026; Nov 1, 2026 – Mar 13, 2027; Nov 7 – Dec 31, 2027: 11:00 PM in New York (previous day).

Scheduling Tips

  • Try 8:00-9:00 AM EST / 9:00-10:00 PM SGT for a quick daily sync. It is early in New York but still evening (not late night) in Singapore.
  • Alternatively, 7:00-8:00 PM EST / 8:00-9:00 AM SGT (next day) catches the Singapore morning if the US team can stay late.
  • During EDT (March-November), you gain an hour -- 8:00 AM EDT is only 8:00 PM SGT instead of 9:00 PM.
  • Use async tools (Loom, Slack threads) as the primary communication channel and reserve synchronous calls for decisions only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time difference between SGT and EST?
SGT (Singapore Time, UTC+8) is 13 hours ahead of EST (UTC-5). When it is 9:00 AM in New York, it is 10:00 PM in Singapore. During US daylight time (EDT, UTC-4), the gap narrows to 12 hours.
Does Singapore observe daylight saving time?
No. Singapore uses SGT (UTC+8) year-round. The only change in the EST-SGT gap comes from the US side when it shifts to EDT in March, reducing the difference from 13 to 12 hours.
What is the best meeting time for New York and Singapore?
The most practical overlap is 8:00-9:00 AM EST / 9:00-10:00 PM SGT, or 7:00-8:00 PM EST / 8:00-9:00 AM SGT the next day. Neither is ideal, so teams often rotate to share the inconvenience.
