New York City operates on Eastern Time — Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−5) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC−4) in summer. US clocks spring forward on the second Sunday of March and fall back on the first Sunday of November. NYSE and NASDAQ market hours (9:30 AM–4:00 PM ET) make Eastern Time one of the most referenced zones in global finance.
Amsterdam, like most of Western Europe, uses Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) in summer. Transitions follow the EU schedule. Amsterdam is home to Schiphol Airport and the AEX stock exchange, both operating on CET/CEST.
Both New York and Amsterdam may observe Daylight Saving Time, which means the offset between them can change twice a year. Here is what to expect each season.
| Period | Note | New York | Amsterdam | Offset |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov – Mar | Both on standard time | EST (UTC−5) | GMT+1 (UTC+1) | 6 hours |
| Mar – late Mar | US clocks forward, some zones still on standard | EDT (UTC−4) | GMT+1 (UTC+1) | 5 hours |
| Late Mar – Oct current | Both on summer / daylight time | EDT (UTC−4) | GMT+2 (UTC+2) | 6 hours |
| Late Oct – early Nov | Clocks transitioning — check exact date | EST (UTC−5) | GMT+1 (UTC+1) | 6 hours |
The transition window typically lasts 1–2 weeks in spring and autumn. If you have a recurring weekly meeting near a clock change, verify the exact date to avoid a missed call.
