Why people convert New York to São Paulo time

  • Scheduling a call from New York to São Paulo: a 10:00 AM start in New York lands at 11:00 AM in São Paulo, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
  • Finding shared working hours: both New York and São Paulo are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM EDT time (10:00 AM–5:00 PM BRT). That is roughly 7 hours of usable overlap.
  • Coordinating a New York-based team with São Paulo contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
  • Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM EDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +1h gap is not.
  • Block 9:00 AM–4:00 PM EDT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from New York and need São Paulo colleagues present.
  • New York: Clocks fall back on Sun, Nov 1, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the +1h gap.
