Frequently Asked Questions (EST → CET)

How do I convert EST to CET?

EST (Eastern Time (US & Canada)) uses the IANA timezone identifier America/New_York (standard offset -05:00), while CET (Central European Time) uses Europe/Paris (standard offset +01:00). Use the interactive slider or the 24-hour table above to convert any hour accurately with automatic Daylight Saving Time (DST) adjustment.

What are the best meeting hours between New York and Paris / Berlin?

Check the rows highlighted with "Best Meeting Overlap" in the 24-hour table above, where both EST and CET fall within standard 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM working hours.

Does EST to CET account for Daylight Saving Time (DST)?

Yes. Castov uses the browser's native IANA tzdb engine (America/New_York and Europe/Paris), which automatically applies official Daylight Saving Time transitions.
