PST to ET Time — Convert Pacific Standard Time (US) to Eastern Time (US)

ET is currently 3 hours ahead of PST.

On Clockjumper, PST refers to Pacific Standard Time in the United States (UTC−8). The US West Coast observes PST in winter and switches to PDT (UTC−7) during daylight saving time.

On Clockjumper, ET refers to the Eastern Time zone of the United States and Canada. ET is an umbrella name rather than a fixed offset: it means EST (UTC−5) in winter and EDT (UTC−4) in summer, and these pages show whichever is currently in force.

The PST → ET offset stays constant across the year — neither zone shifts for daylight saving in a way that changes this gap.
