CET to EST time conversion
The difference between CET and EST is fixed: EST is 6 hours behind CET. For example, 9:00 AM (09:00) CET is 03:00 EST, and 6:00 PM (18:00) CET is 12:00 EST. The chart above lists the conversion for every hour of the day.
These conversions use each zone's standard UTC offset — UTC+01:00 for CET (Central European Time) and UTC−05:00 for EST (Eastern Standard Time) — so the result is exact and does not shift with Daylight Saving Time. To convert a real calendar date between cities with automatic DST handling, use the full time zone converter.
