NDT and EST (US winter time, UTC-5) examples

These examples always use NDT (UTC-2:30) and EST (UTC-5). They stay the same when you change the date or time above. The selected conversion may differ when daylight saving time applies.

NDT is 2 hours and 30 minutes ahead of EST.

EST is US Eastern winter time (early November to mid-March). The rest of the year New York uses EDT (UTC-4), one hour later. For Eastern Time that follows daylight saving time, use NDT to ET. For daylight-time examples, use NDT to EDT.

How the time difference changes

For most of the year, NDT is 1 hour and 30 minutes ahead of EDT. From Nov 1, 2026 to Mar 14, 2027, NST is 1 hour and 30 minutes ahead of EST. Briefly around clock changes, NDT is 2 hours and 30 minutes ahead of EST or NST is 30 minutes ahead of EDT.

For most of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in NDT correspond to 7:30 am to 4:30 pm in EDT. At other times of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in NST correspond to 7:30 am to 4:30 pm in EST.For most of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in NDT correspond to 07:30 to 16:30 in EDT. At other times of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in NST correspond to 07:30 to 16:30 in EST.

Compare NDT time with EST time, including current local time, UTC offsets, time difference, daylight saving changes, working hours, and shareable meeting times.
