FAQ
How many hours between Singapore and New York?
New York is 12 hours behind Singapore (-12 hours).
When is the best time for a meeting?
There is no time that suits both: Singapore works 09:00–18:00 and New York works 09:00–17:00 locally, and those never coincide. Someone has to take the call outside office hours.
