About MDT to EST Conversion

Converting time between MST and EST requires understanding their time zone offsets and any daylight saving time adjustments. MST (MDT) operates at UTC-7, while EST (EST) is set to UTC-5. This means EST is 2 hours ahead MST. For example, when it's 5:56 PM MDT on February 3, 2026, it's 7:56 PM EST in EST. Both America/Denver and America/New_York observes daylight saving time, switching between MST (UTC-7) and MDT (UTC-6). Keep this in mind when converting times, especially during the spring and fall transition periods. Use this converter to quickly find the equivalent time in EST for any time in MST, whether you're scheduling meetings, planning travel, or coordinating with teams across different time zones.
