EST vs JST: what’s the difference?
EST here means Eastern Time (Toronto, New York) (America/Toronto) and JST means Japan Standard Time (Asia/Tokyo). Because at least one of these zones uses daylight saving time, the gap between them changes during the year — so always convert for the actual date of your meeting.
Technically “EST” names only the standard-time half of the year (in summer it’s EDT); this converter follows the real local clock either way.

Frequently asked questions
What is the time difference between Toronto and India?
India is 10 hours 30 minutes ahead of Toronto in winter (EST) and 9 hours 30 minutes ahead in summer (EDT).
Is EST the same as ET?
Not quite. EST is Eastern Standard Time (UTC−5), used in winter. In summer the Eastern zone uses EDT (UTC−4). “ET” covers both, and that’s what this converter follows.
Does Saskatchewan change its clocks?
Most of Saskatchewan stays on Central Standard Time all year, so it matches Alberta in summer and Manitoba in winter.
What’s the difference between GMT and UTC?
For everyday use they’re the same time. UTC is the precise scientific standard; the UK uses GMT in winter and BST (UTC+1) in summer.
