How to Convert UTC to EST
The formula is simple: EST = UTC − 5 hours. For example, 3:00 PM UTC (15:00) is 10:00 AM EST. If the subtraction results in a negative number, add 24 hours and move to the previous calendar day.
EST vs EDT
EST (Eastern Standard Time) is a fixed offset of UTC-5. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is UTC-4, used during daylight saving time. This converter always uses the fixed EST offset. For a converter that auto-adjusts for DST, use the Eastern Time Now page.
