Frequently asked questions

What is the time difference between EST and UTC?+

UTC (UTC+00:00) is currently 4 hours ahead of EST (UTC-04:00). This page recalculates the offset live from the IANA time-zone database, including any daylight-saving transitions.

Does EST or UTC observe daylight saving time?+

New York observes daylight saving time; UTC does not, so the gap changes when New York springs forward or falls back. Times on this page always reflect the current local rules.

What are the best meeting hours between New York and UTC?+

Standard 9–5 working hours in New York and UTC overlap from 9 AM to 1 PM EST (1 PM–5 PM UTC). Schedule calls inside this window to keep both sides in normal business hours.
