Best time for a call
If both sides work 9:00–18:00 local time, the shared window is 17:00–18:00 in Moscow = 09:00–10:00 in New York (1 hour) in January and 16:00–18:00 in Moscow = 09:00–11:00 in New York (2 hours) in July. Put recurring calls in this window and state the time with the city name (for example “14:00 Moscow time”) to avoid confusion. How to schedule a meeting across time zones.
How to read the chart
The left column is the local time in Moscow, the other columns show the same moment in New York in January and in July. “+1 day” means it is already the next calendar day in New York, “−1 day” — still the previous one. Rows outside 9:00–18:00 are dimmed. The converter above works the other way too: press “Swap” to enter a time in New York.
