PST is 3 hours behind EST all year, because both zones change their clocks on the same dates. EST is US Eastern Time, EST at UTC−5 in winter and EDT at UTC−4 in summer. PST is US Pacific Time, PST at UTC−8 in winter and PDT at UTC−7 in summer. Paste a Unix timestamp, an ISO 8601 string or a plain date such as June 1 2026 3:00 pm and the converter shows that moment in both zones, with UTC and Unix time alongside.

Common questions
- What is the time difference between EST and PST?
- PST is 3 hours behind EST all year, because both zones change their clocks on the same dates. The table on this page lists common EST hours with their PST equivalents, and the converter gives the exact gap for any date you enter.
- What time is it in PST right now?
- The PST panel at the top of the page shows the current local time there, next to EST, so you can compare at a glance. The gap is the same whatever the date, so the reading never needs adjusting.
- How do I convert a specific EST time to PST?
- Type the EST time into the box and the panel shows the same moment in PST. For example, 09:00 in EST on 1 June 2026 is 06:00 the same day in PST. A time with no zone is read as EST on this page; the selector under the box switches that to PST or to your own zone, and a Unix number or an ISO 8601 string with an offset is always read as written.
- Does the EST to PST difference change with daylight saving time?
- Hardly. Both zones change their clocks on 8 March and 1 November in 2026, each at 2 a.m. local time, so apart from a couple of hours on those two nights the gap holds at 3 hours all year.
