Time Offset

Chart

The table below gives approximate UTC time offset for various longitudinal zones.
If you are in daylight savings time, add one hour to the offset.

A simple way to determine your local time offset is how many hours you are behind
or ahead of UTC (also called ‘Greenwich’ or ‘zulu’ time) Example: EST (Eastern
Standard Time) is 5 hours behind UTC, so your offset would be -5. Adding one hour
for daylight savings would make EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) -4. Subtract an hour
for each time zone as you travel west.

Offsets for Continental U.S. would be:

EST: -5

EDT: -4

CST: -6

CDT: -5

MST: -7

MDT: -6

PST: -8

PDT: -7
