About This Conversion
This pair's gap isn't fixed: UTC runs 5 hours ahead of Eastern Time (EST/EDT) for part of the year (around January), and 4 hours ahead of Eastern Time (EST/EDT) for another part (around July), because Eastern Time (EST/EDT) and UTC shift their clocks for daylight saving on different dates. Use the live comparison above for the exact figure right now.
