The time zone abbreviation for Coordinated Universal Time is (UTC) and the time zone abbreviation for Greenwich Mean Time is (GMT). The (-8h) in PST or Pacific Standard Time refers to that time zone being eight hours behind UTC or GMT and so forth for the other Time Zones.
You asked, how do you calculate UTC time? To convert 18:00 UTC (6:00 p.m.) into your local time, subtract 6 hours, to get 12 noon CST. During daylight saving (summer) time, you would only subtract 5 hours, so 18:00 UTC would convert to 1:00 p.m CDT. Note that the U.S. uses a 12-hour format with a.m. and p.m. Other countries use 24-hour time.
As many you asked, how do you write UTC time? Do not abbreviate the names of time zones (PT, ET) unless space limitations require you to do so. Coordinated Universal Time is abbreviated UTC—not CUT. For an international time zone that does not have a name, use an expression like this: UTC+7. (This time zone is 7 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time.)
Furthermore, which time zone is UTC 5? Central Time is five hours behind Universal Coordinated Time (abbreviated as UTC-5) during Daylight Saving Time and six hours behind Universal Coordinated Time (UTC-6) during Standard Time.
Likewise, who uses UTC? UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time, a standard used to set all time zones around the world. So, for instance, New York City is in the time zone UTC minus five, meaning that it is 5 hours earlier in NYC than the reading on a UTC clock (except during U.S. daylight savings, when it is 4 hours earlier).

Should I use UTC GMT?
UTC is also more closely tracked as an official time (i.e. is more closely in line with “true” time based off of earth’s rotation). But unless your software needs to-the-second calculations, it shouldn’t make a difference whether you use GMT or UTC. Although, you might consider which to display to users.
How do you convert UTC to local time?
- Determine your local time offset from UTC time.
