Central European Time is UTC+1 in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October.
Eastern Time follows the clock in New York. It is Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−5) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC−4) from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
People often write EST all year round. Strictly, EST is only the winter offset; in summer the eastern US is on EDT. The converter follows the real New York clock for the date you pick.
EDT is 6 hours behind CEST for most of the year (210 days in 2026). The gap is 5 hours for about 4 weeks in 2026.
New York uses Eastern Time. EDT is 6 hours behind CEST for most of the year (210 days in 2026). The gap is 5 hours for about 4 weeks in 2026. Type any CET time into the CET to EST converter to see the New York time for any date.

Working days of 9 AM to 5 PM overlap from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM CEST, which is 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM EDT while CEST and EDT apply.
