NFT and EST examples

These examples always use NFT (UTC+11) 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.

NFT is 16 hours ahead of EST.

EST uses UTC-5 during standard time. For Eastern Time that follows daylight saving time, use NFT to ET. For daylight-time examples, use NFT to EDT.

How the time difference changes

Depending on seasonal clock changes, NFT is 15 hours ahead of EDT, GMT+12 is 16 hours ahead of EDT, or GMT+12 is 17 hours ahead of EST.

Depending on seasonal clock changes, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in NFT correspond to 6:00 pm (previous day) to 2:00 am in EDT, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in GMT+12 correspond to 5:00 pm (previous day) to 1:00 am in EDT, or working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in GMT+12 correspond to 4:00 pm (previous day) to 12:00 am in EST.

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