★ CONVERTER · TIME & DATE · TIME ZONES
12:00 noon on October 24, 2026 in Alaska (AKDT, UTC−8) is 16:00 Eastern, 15:00 Central, 14:00 Mountain, 13:00 Pacific, and 20:00 UTC. Enter any Alaska date and time below and the converter gives the same moment in all five zones, with daylight saving worked out from the date you entered. This converts a time you type in — it is not a live clock.
Pick a date and a time in Alaska time. The converter treats the entry as wall-clock time in America/Anchorage, converts it through UTC, and reports the same instant in Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, and UTC, naming the Alaska abbreviation (AKDT or AKST) and UTC offset that apply on that date. Daylight saving is handled from the date itself, so a January entry and an October entry correctly use different offsets.
The entered Alaska wall-clock time is interpreted in the America/Anchorage time zone, converted to UTC, and then rendered in America/New_York, America/Chicago, America/Denver, America/Los_Angeles, and UTC using the browser's Intl.DateTimeFormat, which carries each zone's daylight-saving rules. Alaska daylight time (AKDT) is UTC−8 and Alaska standard time (AKST) is UTC−9; the switch follows the US daylight-saving calendar (second Sunday in March to first Sunday in November). Because Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific shift on the same dates, Alaska stays 4 hours behind Eastern, 3 behind Central, 2 behind Mountain, and 1 behind Pacific all year — what changes with the seasons is the offset from UTC, not the gaps between US zones.
Setup: 12:00 on 2026-10-24 in Alaska.
Line 1 — the Alaska offset. October 24 is inside daylight time, so Alaska is on AKDT, UTC−8.
Line 2 — the UTC moment. 12:00 at UTC−8 is 20:00 UTC.
Line 3 — the US zones. 20:00 UTC is 16:00 EDT (UTC−4), 15:00 CDT (UTC−5), 14:00 MDT (UTC−6), and 13:00 PDT (UTC−7).
The winter case: 12:00 on 2026-01-15 in Alaska. January is standard time, so Alaska is on AKST, UTC−9: the same noon becomes 16:00 EST Eastern, 15:00 CST Central, 14:00 MST Mountain, 13:00 PST Pacific, and 21:00 UTC. Note the clock times in the US zones are one hour earlier than the October case even though the Alaska time is the same — the whole country has shifted, so the gaps stay the same but the UTC moment moves.
A morning meeting: 09:00 on 2026-10-24 in Alaska. That is 13:00 EDT Eastern, 12:00 CDT Central, 11:00 MDT Mountain, 10:00 PDT Pacific, and 17:00 UTC. An Anchorage morning is an East Coast early afternoon — schedule accordingly.
A late evening: 21:00 on 2026-01-15 in Alaska. In standard time that is 01:00 EST the next day Eastern, 00:00 CST the next day Central, 23:00 MST the same day Mountain, 22:00 PST the same day Pacific, and 06:00 UTC the next day. Evening calls from Alaska land after midnight in the East in winter.
| Output | Formula | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Eastern time | Alaska time + 4 hours | 16:00 EDT at the defaults — the same moment on the East Coast. |
| Central time | Alaska time + 3 hours | 15:00 CDT at the defaults — the same moment in Chicago. |
| Mountain time | Alaska time + 2 hours | 14:00 MDT at the defaults — the same moment in Denver. |
| Pacific time | Alaska time + 1 hour | 13:00 PDT at the defaults — the same moment in Los Angeles. |
| UTC | Alaska time + 8 hours (AKDT) or + 9 (AKST) | 20:00 UTC at the defaults — the same moment on the world clock. |
The conversion is exact for the America/Anchorage zone, which covers the great majority of Alaska's population, including Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau. One exception: the western Aleutian Islands use the Hawaii-Aleutian zone (HST/HDT, UTC−10/UTC−9), one hour behind Anchorage time, and this converter does not cover that zone — if your location is in the western Aleutians, subtract one hour from the Alaska times shown here. Times are shown in 24-hour format to avoid a.m./p.m. mistakes, and dates that cross midnight in other zones are the converter's output for the same instant, not the same calendar day. Error policy: a missing or out-of-range date or time is reported as an error rather than modeled.
Bright Side Kit. "Alaska Time Converter: AKT to Eastern & More." https://brightoolbox.com/alaska-time-converter/ Accessed October 24, 2026.8:00 a.m. in Alaska. Alaska is 4 hours behind Eastern all year, in both daylight and standard time, because both zones shift together. Noon Eastern is 08:00 AKDT in summer and 08:00 AKST in winter.
Yes, always. Alaska is 4 hours behind Eastern, 3 behind Central, 2 behind Mountain, and 1 behind Pacific, in every season. Only the offset from UTC changes: UTC−8 in daylight time, UTC−9 in standard time.
AKDT is Alaska daylight time (UTC−8) and AKST is Alaska standard time (UTC−9). Daylight time runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November; standard time covers the rest of the year.
20:00 UTC in daylight time, 21:00 UTC in standard time. Noon on October 24, 2026 (AKDT) is 20:00 UTC; noon on January 15, 2026 (AKST) is 21:00 UTC.
Almost all of it. Most of Alaska, including Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, uses America/Anchorage. The western Aleutian Islands are the exception: they use Hawaii-Aleutian time, one hour behind Anchorage.
Because Alaska shifts its clocks. Noon Alaska time is 20:00 UTC when Alaska is on daylight time (UTC−8) and 21:00 UTC on standard time (UTC−9). The US zones shift too, so the gaps between them never change.
No. This page converts a time you enter; it does not show the current time. Enter the date and time you want converted, and it reports that moment in all five zones.
The converter reports the same instant, which may fall on the next day elsewhere. A 21:00 winter evening in Alaska is already 01:00 the next day Eastern. The time shown is correct for the instant; the calendar day may differ by zone.
