EST to AEST — Full 24-Hour Conversion Table

The table below shows what time it is in Australian Eastern Time for every hour of the day in Eastern Time, using the fixed UTC offsets named by these abbreviations. A city may use a different abbreviation during daylight saving time.

Green rows indicate hours where both zones fall within 09:00–17:00 business hours. Abbreviations use their fixed UTC offsets. For a city that observes daylight saving, use the date-aware meeting planner.

Best Meeting Times: EST and AEST

Standard 09:00–17:00 business hours do not overlap between Eastern Time and Australian Eastern Time.

With a 15-hour difference, real-time overlap during standard business hours is not possible. The most common approach is for one team to hold a standing early-morning call (07:00–09:00 local) while the other stays late (17:00–19:00 local). Rotate the sacrifice quarterly to distribute meeting burden fairly.

For zero-overlap corridors, we recommend the Meeting Planner's rotation-fairness feature to distribute meeting burden equitably.

Daylight Saving Time: EST and AEST

EST — Eastern Time
Observes DST
Standard: UTC−05:00
DST (EDT): UTC−04:00
2026: clocks forward 2026-03-08 · back 2026-11-01

The US observes Daylight Saving Time. Clocks spring forward 1 hour on the second Sunday in March and fall back on the first Sunday in November. During EDT (UTC−4), the gap to IST narrows by 1 hour.

AEST — Australian Eastern Time
Observes DST
Standard: UTC+10:00
DST (AEDT): UTC+11:00
2026: clocks forward 2026-10-04 · back 2026-04-05

Australia's DST runs opposite to the northern hemisphere. AEST (UTC+10) moves to AEDT (UTC+11) on the first Sunday in October and reverts in April. Queensland, unlike NSW and Victoria, does not observe DST and stays on AEST year-round.

DST effect on this pair: Both zones observe DST, but their transition dates may not align. Between 2026-03-08 and 2026-10-04 (or vice versa in autumn), the gap between EST and AEST will be 1 hour different from the standard offset shown above.
