How to use it
- Enter time in est and day in est (optional).
- The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
- Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.
How it is calculated
PKT time = EST time + 10 hours, because PKT is UTC+5 and EST is UTC-5. If the result reaches 24:00 or more, subtract 24 hours and move to the next day; if it drops below 00:00, add 24 hours and move to the previous day.
Example
Inputs: Time in EST = 22:00, Day in EST (optional) = Thursday. Result: Time in PKT: 08:00; Day change: Next day (+1); Offset difference (PKT minus EST): 10 hours.
Limits and caveats
- Fixed offsets are used: EST = UTC-5 and PKT = UTC+5, whatever the date.
- New York switches to EDT (UTC-4) from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November; the tool does not apply that change.
Questions about this tool
What time is 09:00 EST in PKT?
09:00 EST is 19:00 PKT on the same day, because PKT is 10 hours ahead of EST.
Does daylight saving time change the result?
The tool keeps EST at UTC-5 all year. New York switches to EDT (UTC-4) from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November; in that period the gap between New York and PKT is 9 hours.
How do I convert PKT back to EST?
Subtract 10 hours from the PKT time. If the result falls below 00:00, add 24 hours and it is the previous day in EST.
