All Timezone Conversions

Cron EST to PST

Convert cron job schedules from EST to PST timezone.

Timezone Offset

-3 hours

EST (UTC-5) → PST (UTC-8)

Conversion Examples

To run a job at a specific EST time, use the PST expression below:

Target time (EST) Cron in PST Equivalent PST time
Midnight EST0 21 * * *9 PM (previous day)
9 AM EST0 6 * * *6 AM
Noon EST0 9 * * *9 AM
5 PM EST0 14 * * *2 PM

How to Use

If your server runs in PST but you want jobs to execute at EST times:

  1. Take your desired EST hour
  2. Subtract 3 hours
  3. If result is negative, add 24 (job runs previous day)
  4. If result is 24 or more, subtract 24 (job runs next day)

For complex schedules, use our Timezone Converter Tool to see exact run times in both timezones.

Important Notes

  • Standard cron has no timezone support - it uses the server's local time
  • Day boundaries: When converting crosses midnight, the day also changes
  • DST: Consider daylight saving time - offsets may change by 1 hour seasonally
  • Kubernetes & cloud platforms: Many support explicit timezone configuration
