Frequently asked questions
What is the time difference between PST and EST?
US Eastern Time is always 3 hours ahead of US Pacific Time. When it is 9:00 AM PST, it is 12:00 PM EST. The 3-hour gap holds all year because both coasts change to daylight saving together.
What time is 9 AM PST in EST?
9:00 AM Pacific is 12:00 PM (noon) Eastern the same day.
Do PST and EST change with daylight saving?
Yes, both shift to PDT and EDT together in summer, so the 3-hour difference between them never changes.
