EST to PST — Pacific Time is 3 hours behind

Pacific Time (PST) is 3 hours behind of Eastern Time (EST) while both are on standard time. The gap stays the same throughout the year, which makes this one of the easier pairs to schedule against.

How the two zones line up

Eastern Time sits at UTC−5 in winter and UTC−4 in summer. Pacific Time sits at UTC−8 and UTC−7 respectively. The difference between those two offsets is the number you add or subtract.

Daylight saving

The two working days overlap almost completely, so any normal meeting slot works for both sides.
