How many hours ahead is Dhaka compared to New York?

Dhaka is either 10 or 11 hours ahead of New York. The gap is 11 hours when New York is on EST (UTC-5) and 10 hours when New York is on EDT (UTC-4) during summer. Dhaka stays at UTC+6 year-round because Bangladesh does not observe daylight saving time.

Does this tool account for daylight saving time?

Yes. The tool uses the browser's built-in Intl.DateTimeFormat API with the IANA timezone identifiers America/New_York and Asia/Dhaka. New York's DST transitions are applied automatically; Dhaka remains at UTC+6 permanently.

What time zone is Dhaka in?

Dhaka observes Bangladesh Standard Time (BST), which is UTC+6. It does not use daylight saving time, so the offset from UTC is fixed at +6 hours throughout the year.

What are the best hours to schedule a meeting between New York and Dhaka?

Overlap is limited. In the EST period (November–March) Dhaka is 11 hours ahead, so a 9 AM New York call is 8 PM in Dhaka. The closest practical window is early morning New York / evening Dhaka. The overlap panel on this page shows the exact window for today.

Does the clock use my local computer time?

Yes, it reads your device's system clock and converts it to both timezones. If your device clock is accurate, both displayed times will be accurate.

How it works

Your browser reads the current UTC timestamp every second.
It converts that timestamp into America/New_York local time using the Intl API.
It converts the same timestamp into Asia/Dhaka local time (UTC+6).
Both clocks and the computed hour offset are rendered live on screen.
The offset adjusts automatically when New York switches to or from daylight saving time.
