    EST and PST explained

    Eastern Time uses EST (UTC−5) as standard time and EDT (UTC−4) during daylight saving time, from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November; the clocks change at 2am local time. It covers the eastern US and Canada, including New York, Washington DC, Miami, Atlanta and Toronto. People often say "EST" all year, but EST is strictly the winter name: during daylight saving time the eastern US is on EDT.

    Pacific Time uses PST (UTC−8) as standard time and PDT (UTC−7) during daylight saving time, from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November; the clocks change at 2am local time. It covers the US west coast and British Columbia, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas and Vancouver. People often say "PST" all year; during daylight saving time the US west coast is on PDT.

    The difference across the year

    PT is 3 hours behind ET all year, because both change their clocks on the same dates.

    How to use the converter

    Pick a time and date under From; the time in PT appears under To, with your own local time underneath. The date matters around clock changes, so set it for the day you mean. ⇄ swaps the two zones, Now goes back to the current time, and either zone can be changed to any city. The planner below lines up the whole day in both places and in yours.
