See the live UTC time next to the current time in New York, check today's real offset, and roll through any UTC time to find the matching ET time — including when the two zones fall on different dates.

THE CLOCKS ABOVE ALWAYS SHOW THE LIVE CURRENT TIME. THE ROLLER BELOW IS A LOOKUP TOOL — ROTATING IT NEVER CHANGES THEM.

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the world's time standard: it never shifts for seasons and every other zone is described as an offset from it. US Eastern Time (ET) is the clock used in New York. Converting UTC to ET means adding that offset to the UTC reading.
Eastern Time covers the US east coast plus parts of Canada and the Caribbean, and it is the reference zone for US financial markets.
Take the UTC time, apply the current ET offset shown in the live panel above, and roll the date forward or back if the result crosses midnight. The interactive roller does all three steps for you: the left drum is UTC, the right drum is ET, and a day badge appears whenever the local date differs.
Because ET observes daylight saving time, the gap to UTC is not fixed — every clock and table on this page is calculated live from the America/New_York IANA database, so today's real offset is always what you see.
The reference table below the tool lists every UTC half hour against the matching ET time for today, so you can copy a conversion without touching the roller.
Eastern Time is UTC -05:00 as EST in winter and UTC -04:00 as EDT between March and November, so the gap to UTC changes twice a year.
