ET to UTC Time — Convert Eastern Time (US) to Coordinated Universal Time

UTC is currently 4 hours ahead of ET.

On Clockjumper, ET refers to the Eastern Time zone of the United States and Canada. ET is an umbrella name rather than a fixed offset: it means EST (UTC−5) in winter and EDT (UTC−4) in summer, and these pages show whichever is currently in force.

On Clockjumper, UTC refers to Coordinated Universal Time — the global reference from which every other zone is expressed as an offset. It never shifts for daylight saving. GMT is equivalent to UTC for everyday use, though in the UK "GMT" also names the winter time, with clocks moving to BST in summer.

Around January UTC is 5 hours ahead of ET. Around July it is 4 hours ahead of ET. That swing comes from one or both zones observing daylight saving on different schedules — the converter above always reflects the correct offset for the date you pick.
