All Timezone Conversions

Cron PST to EST

Convert cron job schedules from PST to EST timezone.

Timezone Offset

+3 hours

PST (UTC-8) → EST (UTC-5)

Conversion Examples

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

Target time (PST) Cron in EST Equivalent EST time
Midnight PST0 3 * * *3 AM
9 AM PST0 12 * * *Noon
Noon PST0 15 * * *3 PM
5 PM PST0 20 * * *8 PM

How to Use

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

  1. Take your desired PST hour
  2. Add 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
