Everything You Need to Know About PDT and EDT Time

PDT runs on Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) at UTC-07:00. EDT runs on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) at UTC-04:00. That puts PDT 3 hours ahead of EDT — a difference of +3h at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in PDT it is 12:00 PM in EDT. Midnight in PDT is 3:00 AM in EDT. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert PDT to EDT time

Scheduling a call from PDT to EDT: a 10:00 AM start in PDT lands at 1:00 PM in EDT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both PDT and EDT are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM PDT time (12:00 PM–5:00 PM EDT). That is roughly 5 hours of usable overlap.
Booking travel or deliveries: tracking EDT local time against PDT keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the +3h offset.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM PDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +3h gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–2:00 PM PDT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from PDT and need EDT colleagues present.

About PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)

Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is observed from March to November on the Pacific coast. During PDT, the west coast is 7 hours behind UTC and only 2 hours behind the east coast's EDT.

About EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)

Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is used during the summer months (second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November) in the Eastern Time Zone. During EDT, clocks are advanced by one hour to take advantage of longer daylight hours. Not all locations in the Eastern Time Zone observe DST – Panama, Jamaica, and most of the Caribbean remain on EST year-round.

Best time to call between PDT and EDT

Both PDT and EDT sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–2:00 PM PDT, which is 12:00 PM–5:00 PM EDT. That gives roughly 5 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.

Business hours overlap

PDT and EDT share 5 hours of working-hours overlap (9:00 AM–2:00 PM PDT), so scheduling a live meeting is straightforward.

PDT is 3 hours ahead of EDT (PDT UTC-07:00 → EDT UTC-04:00). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–2:00 PM PDT. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
