Where these units come from
Until the middle of the nineteenth century every town kept its own noon, set by the sun overhead, and nobody minded that the next town was four minutes behind. Railways ended that: a timetable cannot be written for a hundred local noons. Britain put its railways on Greenwich time in 1847, and in 1884 the International Meridian Conference in Washington chose Greenwich as the prime meridian and sketched the twenty-four-hour scheme we still use. Greenwich Mean Time was the world's reference until 1972, when Coordinated Universal Time replaced it: UTC is kept by atomic clocks and tied back to the turning Earth by leap seconds. The abbreviations on this page name standard time — the winter setting — which is why each one is a fixed number of hours rather than something that drifts through the year.
Where you meet them
A time zone becomes real the moment two people in different places have to agree on one moment: a call between offices, a flight that lands before it took off, a market that opens while you are asleep, a deadline written in somebody else's afternoon. Server logs, train and flight schedules and anything stamped with a time are kept in UTC precisely so that the question can always be settled, no matter whose clock was on the wall.
Questions people ask
What about summer time?
The offsets here are standard-time offsets, the ones a zone keeps in winter. Where summer time is observed, the same places move one hour further on for part of the year and take a different name: Central European Time becomes Central European Summer Time, Eastern Standard Time becomes Eastern Daylight Time. The switching dates are not the same in every country, and the two hemispheres change in opposite months, so for a date inside a summer-time period add an hour to whichever side observes it.
Why isn't every difference a whole number of hours?
Because offsets are decided by governments, not by geometry. India is half an hour off the hour, at UTC+05:30; Nepal is three quarters, at UTC+05:45; the Chatham Islands are at UTC+12:45. Any of these can be changed by law, and several countries have moved their offset within living memory.
Is the answer exact?
Where both units are defined in terms of one another by whole numbers, yes — the page says so above the figure, and the only rounding is in how many digits are shown. Where the ratio has no finite decimal, the page shows twelve significant digits and says the relation is approximate rather than pretending otherwise.

Romanian, Greek and Finnish time on a California clock
The Romanian National Day parade sets off at 10:00 EET. The Easter service peaks at midnight. The grand final of a European song contest starts at 22:00. Anyone in Los Angeles, San Francisco or Seattle will convert EET to PST in such cases. In winter the rule is a subtraction of ten hours. 10:00 EET becomes 00:00 PST, 22:00 EET becomes 12:00 PST, and 06:00 EET slips back to the previous evening at 20:00 PST. Any Eastern European time before 10:00 belongs to the previous day in California. Ten hours holds in summer too; the figure falls to nine only between 8 and 28 March and between 25 and 31 October.
The page opens with events in Romania, Greece and Finland that Californians follow, and goes on to the rule, the lookup tables and a profile of each zone. Everything is worked out inside the browser; nothing travels to a server.
1 December, from the Californian night
The morning parade
The National Day military ceremony begins around 10:00 EET, which is 00:00 PST, midnight between 30 November and 1 December in California. Romanians in the west watch it live late at night, or in a repeat in the morning.
The evening of the holiday
Evening concerts, from 20:00 EET, start at 10:00 a.m. PST. A “convert EET to PST” calculation tells you at once that they can be watched in the first part of the Californian morning.
The Easter light
The Easter midnight
The Resurrection service reaches its climax at 00:00 EEST. In years when Easter falls in April, it is then 2:00 p.m. PDT the previous day in California. Believers in the west follow the service from home on a screen, on Saturday afternoon.
The local service
Parishes in California hold their service at midnight by their own clock, which is 10:00 EEST on Easter morning. A “convert EET to PST” calculation keeps the two moments from being mixed up.
The festival in Cluj
The main stage
The big summer concerts begin around 22:00 EEST, which is 12:00 p.m. PDT. Californians watch them live at lunchtime.
The afternoon programme
Bands booked for 17:00 EEST play at 7:00 a.m. PDT. The European programme stretches across the whole Californian morning.
Greek Independence Day
The Athens parade
The 25 March parade starts at 11:00 EET. In 2026 America is already on summer time while eastern Europe is not, so the Athens hour means 2:00 a.m. PDT, nine hours away rather than ten.
Why it matters
A “convert EET to PST” calculation on the standard figure would give 1:00 a.m., an hour too early. Between 8 and 28 March the real gap is nine hours.
The Bucharest exchange, seen from California
The trading session
Trading runs roughly from 10:00 to 18:00 EET, which is 00:00 to 8:00 a.m. PST. A Californian investor who wants to follow the Romanian market live wakes in the dead of night.
Wall Street opens
The New York exchange opens at 9:30 a.m. ET, which is 6:30 a.m. PT. A “convert EET to PST” calculation for each line of the timetable shows that the Romanian market still has an hour and a half to go when the American one opens.
The continent’s song contest
The Saturday final
The grand final starts at 22:00 EEST, which is 12:00 PDT. Americans in the west watch at midday, and the voting ends around 01:00 EEST, which is around 3:00 p.m. PDT.
The semi-finals
The semi-finals held during the week also start at 22:00 EEST, which is 12:00 PDT. A “convert EET to PST” calculation tells you at once whether you can catch them on your lunch break.
The Romanian football league
The evening match
A match that kicks off at 20:30 EET kicks off at 10:30 a.m. PST. Romanians in California watch it in the second half of the morning, while at home it is evening.
The afternoon match
A game at 17:00 EET starts at 7:00 a.m. PST. For a Californian fan it is a breakfast match.
How to convert EET to PST: one rule and two exceptions
The rule
EET is UTC+2 and PST is UTC−8. That makes ten hours: the Pacific clock stands behind Bucharest, Athens and Helsinki. From the local time on a 24-hour clock, subtract 10.
The first exception: the date
A negative result means the previous day. Add 24: 06:00 EET gives −4, so 20:00 PST yesterday; 09:00 EET gives 23:00 PST yesterday.
The second exception: summer time
From 8 to 28 March and from 25 to 31 October the real distance is nine hours, not ten. Landmarks: 10:00 EET is 00:00 PST, 12:30 EET is 02:30 PST, 16:00 EET is 06:00 PST, 19:00 EET is 09:00 PST, 22:00 EET is 12:00 PST, 23:45 EET is 13:45 PST.
The Pacific, seen from eastern Europe
Where it lies
Along the west coast, from the Mexican border up to British Columbia, the winter hour is UTC−8: California, Oregon, Washington and most of Nevada share it. With spring they all shift to UTC−7 and the label changes to PDT.
What it means for you
A Romanian poster announces 19:00, but in the west it is morning. Californians therefore convert EET to PST before arranging their day around a European event.
Eastern European time in brief
Who keeps it
Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus, Finland, the Baltic states, Ukraine and Moldova run on EET (UTC+2). Summer time adds an hour from the last Sunday of March until the last Sunday of October.
Egypt
Egypt sits on EET and has its own summer calendar, from the last Friday of April to the last Thursday of October. Against California its distance falls to nine hours between 8 March and 23 April and on 30 and 31 October.
Ten hours between two dials
Working days
When a Romanian office works, from 09:00 to 17:00, it is night in California (23:00 to 07:00). When a Californian office works from 09:00 to 17:00, it is evening and night in Romania (19:00 to 03:00). The two days never touch.
Calls
A call from Bucharest at 17:00 EET reaches 7:00 a.m. PST, too early for many. One from 19:00 EET reaches 9:00 a.m. PST, in the first useful hour of the Californian day.
Over the ocean and the continent
A plane with one stop that leaves Bucharest at 10:00 EET and flies for nearly fifteen hours comes down in San Francisco at 15:00 PST. The ticket says 10:00 and 15:00 PST, as for a trip of five hours.
Christmas and New Year services
Christmas Eve
The evening carols on 24 December, at 19:00 EET, are heard at 9:00 a.m. PST. The diaspora in California follows them live over morning coffee.
New Year’s Eve
The new year reaches Romania at 14:00 PST on 31 December, so Californians can watch the Bucharest fireworks before their own evening begins.
Four dates, four seasons
The coldest month
On Sunday 25 January, an event at 19:00 EET takes place at 09:00 PST.
The long spring
On Sunday 15 March, the same Romanian hour means 10:00 PDT: California advanced its clock on 8 March and eastern Europe only on the 29th. The distance is nine hours.
High summer
On Sunday 26 July, 19:00 EEST is 09:00 PDT. Both clocks are on summer time, so the figure is again ten hours.
The start of winter
On Monday 26 October, 19:00 EET is 10:00 PDT, because Europe returned to standard time on 25 October and California only on 1 November. On Sunday 6 December, 19:00 EET is 09:00 PST.
Why it is sometimes nine hours, not ten
In autumn
For one week, from 25 October until 1 November, Europe is already back on standard time while California is not. A “convert EET to PST” calculation on the ten-hour figure then comes out an hour late.
In spring
For three weeks, from 8 March until 28 March, California is ahead on summer time and eastern Europe has not caught up, so the distance between EET and the Pacific shrinks to nine hours.
Working across Bucharest and San Francisco
The only shared hour
People in both offices can talk live only around 17:00 EET, when it is 7:00 a.m. PST. The Romanians are closing their laptops and the Californians are opening theirs.
Writing it down
Whatever is finished at 17:30 EET lands in California at 7:30 a.m. PST, ahead of most American colleagues. A written note carries the work across.
Dials from around the world, starting at Bucharest
Subtract or add
Starting from Romanian time, subtract one hour for Berlin, two for London, seven for New York, eight for Chicago and ten for Los Angeles. Add two and a half hours for Delhi.
One instant, four cities
When it is 19:00 in Bucharest, it is 18:00 in Berlin, 17:00 in London, 12:00 in New York and 9:00 in Los Angeles. An invitation with all the hours spares the reader any convert EET to PST.
Holidays in Greece
Summer flights
A flight from Athens at 08:00 EEST with one stop, lasting nearly fifteen hours, lands at 23:00 EEST, which is 1:00 p.m. PDT on the same day. A “convert EET to PST” calculation shows why the day of travel seems shorter.
On the beach
A tourist phoning home to California from the beach at 14:00 EEST is calling at 4:00 a.m. PDT. A call at that hour is not welcomed.
Online lectures from European institutions
Lecture time
A lecture at 18:00 EET is at 8:00 a.m. PST. Californian students attend first thing, before work.
Deadlines
A deadline of 23:59 EET falls at 1:59 p.m. PST on the same day. Counting the deadline by your own midnight can cost you hours.
When the gap is not the usual one
The 2026 calendar
EET and PST are not always the same distance apart. In 2026: 1 January to 7 March, 29 March to 24 October and 1 November to 31 December — PST runs 10 hours behind EET; 8 to 28 March and 25 to 31 October — PST runs 9 hours behind EET.
In practice
During the summer periods the zones are called EEST and PDT. The calculator assumes the winter gap of 10 hours; adjust by the difference shown for your date. Whenever you convert EET to PST, check which period the date falls in first.

00:00 EET is 14:00 PST (previous day). 01:00 EET is 15:00 PST (previous day). 02:00 EET is 16:00 PST (previous day). 03:00 EET is 17:00 PST (previous day). 04:00 EET is 18:00 PST (previous day). 05:00 EET is 19:00 PST (previous day). 06:00 EET is 20:00 PST (previous day). 07:00 EET is 21:00 PST (previous day). 08:00 EET is 22:00 PST (previous day). 09:00 EET is 23:00 PST (previous day). 10:00 EET is 00:00 PST. 11:00 EET is 01:00 PST. 12:00 EET is 02:00 PST. 13:00 EET is 03:00 PST. 14:00 EET is 04:00 PST. 15:00 EET is 05:00 PST. 16:00 EET is 06:00 PST. 17:00 EET is 07:00 PST. 18:00 EET is 08:00 PST. 19:00 EET is 09:00 PST. 20:00 EET is 10:00 PST. 21:00 EET is 11:00 PST. 22:00 EET is 12:00 PST. 23:00 EET is 13:00 PST.
A short guide
Each entry converts one full hour from EET to PST, flagging any change of date. If you only need to convert EET to PST once, the form above is quicker; for many readings, keep this chart at hand. The offset has no minutes in it, so a reading of :45 stays :45 after the conversion. These rows use the standard (winter) gap; on the dates listed in the period section the gap is different.

Short explanation
Calls, flights and jobs frequently sit at half past. The list covers all twenty-four of them, which is handy if you have to convert EET to PST for a long timetable. The gap used here is the standard winter one; the period section lists the dates on which it differs.
Conversions with minutes
EET into PST
01:05 EET is 15:05 PST (previous day). 03:20 EET is 17:20 PST (previous day). 05:50 EET is 19:50 PST (previous day). 07:35 EET is 21:35 PST (previous day). 10:10 EET is 00:10 PST. 13:25 EET is 03:25 PST. 16:40 EET is 06:40 PST. 19:55 EET is 09:55 PST. 22:15 EET is 12:15 PST. 23:05 EET is 13:05 PST.
How to check
Each line shows how a time with minutes is carried across. With a whole-hour offset the minutes are untouched; if they differ in your result, the input was misread. Winter-time arithmetic applies to these rows; for the dates in the period section, correct the result accordingly.
Morning, afternoon or night?
From EET to PST, with the time of day
06:00 EET is 20:00 PST (evening). 08:00 EET is 22:00 PST (night). 10:00 EET is 00:00 PST (night). 12:00 EET is 02:00 PST (night). 14:00 EET is 04:00 PST (night). 16:00 EET is 06:00 PST (early morning). 18:00 EET is 08:00 PST (morning). 20:00 EET is 10:00 PST (morning). 22:00 EET is 12:00 PST (around midday).
Why it matters
A conversion is only half the answer: the other half is whether the result is a sensible hour. After you convert EET to PST, check the bracketed word. The gap used here is the standard winter one; the period section lists the dates on which it differs.
Checklist: how to convert EET to PST
First
Confirm the zones
A Romanian schedule in July says EEST (UTC+3), not EET. Pacific Standard Time is UTC−8; the letters PST are also used for the Philippines and for Pakistan, which are not covered here.
Use a 24-hour clock
Turn a.m. and p.m. into the 24-hour form first: 4:30 p.m. is 16:30 and 12:00 a.m. is 00:00. For example, 09:15 EET becomes 23:15 PST (previous day).
After the sum
The operation
Subtract 10 hours. If the result passes midnight, correct the date: readings before 10:00 fall on the previous date.
A second example
Try a later hour: 22:40 EET is 12:40 PST.
Traps to avoid when you convert EET to PST
Adding instead of subtracting
PST trails EET: expect a smaller number, not a bigger one.
Losing the date
A EET time before 10:00 moves to the previous date. Keeping the original date produces a one-day error.
The standard figure in the wrong weeks
The gap between EET and PST is not the same on every date in 2026. Check the period list above before you rely on the standard figure.
Confusing the abbreviation
Egypt shares EET but changes its clocks on different dates from Europe. Pacific Standard Time is UTC−8; the letters PST are also used for the Philippines and for Pakistan, which are not covered here.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between EET and PST?
10 hours, and PST is behind EET. That is the standard figure; on some dates in 2026 it differs, as the period list shows.
Which sum applies when I convert EET to PST?
Subtract 10 hours from the EET time, then fix the date if the result passes midnight.
What is 09:00 EET in PST?
23:00 PST on the previous day in the standard period.
Does the answer change during the year?
Yes, on some dates; the period list above shows which.
Is the time I enter sent anywhere?
No. The calculation runs in your browser.
