New York to Sydney time — Sydney is 16 hours ahead

Sydney is 16 hours ahead of New York during standard time. Once daylight saving begins the gap becomes 14 hours ahead, because the two cities do not change their clocks in step. Their normal working days overlap by roughly 0 hours.

Standard time

16 hours ahead

Applies while neither zone is on daylight saving — broadly November to March in the northern hemisphere.

Daylight saving

14 hours ahead

Applies while the clocks are forward. This pair does not keep a constant gap, so check the date.

How the two zones line up

New York runs on America/New_York (UTC−5 in winter) and Sydney on Australia/Sydney (UTC+11). The difference between those offsets is what you add or subtract when converting a meeting time.

Daylight saving

Standard working days do not overlap at all. One side will need to take the call early or late, so alternate who makes the sacrifice.
