Convert ET to EET

Eastern Time (ET) to Eastern European Time (EET)

US tech companies increasingly partner with development teams in Romania, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Greece. Kyiv and Bucharest have emerged as major outsourcing hubs, and New York-based product teams converting EST to EET for sprint planning, code reviews, and client demos navigate a 7-hour gap that is workable but requires intentional scheduling around the overlap window.

Scheduling Tips

  • Schedule meetings between 9:00-11:00 AM EST / 4:00-6:00 PM EET for the widest overlap during both teams' core hours.
  • Avoid scheduling past 11:00 AM EST -- that is 6:00 PM EET and pushes into personal time in Eastern Europe.
  • Watch the March and late October DST transition weeks when the offset temporarily shifts to 6 hours. Recurring meetings may silently move by an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time difference between EST and EET?
EET (Eastern European Time, UTC+2) is 7 hours ahead of EST (UTC-5). When it is 9:00 AM in New York, it is 4:00 PM in Kyiv. During summer, both regions shift to daylight time (EDT and EEST), maintaining the 7-hour gap for most of the year.
What is 10:00 AM EST in Bucharest?
10:00 AM EST is 5:00 PM EET. During summer daylight time, 10:00 AM EDT is 5:00 PM EEST. US late mornings catch the final hour of the Eastern European workday.
When does the EST-EET time difference change?
The US springs forward in mid-March, while Europe follows in late March. During those 2-3 weeks the gap drops to 6 hours. In the fall, Europe falls back in late October while the US waits until early November, shrinking the gap to 6 hours for about 1 week.
Which Eastern European countries use EET?
EET (UTC+2) is used by Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Ukraine, Finland, the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), and others. All EU members in this group switch to EEST (UTC+3) for summer. Ukraine also follows the same DST pattern.
