How do I convert EST to PST?
EST (Eastern Time (US & Canada)) uses the IANA timezone identifier America/New_York (standard offset -05:00), while PST (Pacific Time (US & Canada)) uses America/Los_Angeles (standard offset -08:00). Use the interactive slider or the 24-hour table above to convert any hour accurately with automatic Daylight Saving Time (DST) adjustment.
What are the best meeting hours between New York and Los Angeles / San Francisco?
Check the rows highlighted with "Best Meeting Overlap" in the 24-hour table above, where both EST and PST fall within standard 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM working hours.
Does EST to PST account for Daylight Saving Time (DST)?
Yes. Castov uses the browser's native IANA tzdb engine (America/New_York and America/Los_Angeles), which automatically applies official Daylight Saving Time transitions.
