About PST to EST
PST (Pacific Time) and EST (Eastern Time) conversions run in the opposite direction of the East-to-West lookup, but the underlying time difference is the same 3-hour gap.
A note on daylight saving
Since both US coasts shift for daylight saving at the same time, this stays a steady 3-hour difference regardless of the time of year.
Common questions
How many hours is PST to EST?
Pacific Time is 3 hours behind Eastern Time, consistently throughout the year.
What is a good meeting time between PST and EST?
Late morning Pacific Time (roughly 9 AM-12 PM PST) usually lands in early-to-mid afternoon on the East Coast (12 PM-3 PM EST), a comfortable overlap for both sides.
Is the gap ever different from 3 hours?
No — both zones observe daylight saving on the same US schedule, so the 3-hour gap holds year-round.
