In the title compound, C13H12O5, the mean plane of the 2H-chromene ring system (r.m.s deviation = 0.026 Å) forms a dihedral angle of 81.71 (6)° with the mean plane of ethyl 2-hy-droxy-acetate moiety (r.m.s deviation = 0.034 Å). In the crystal, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of zigzag layers parallel to the bc plane.
