Understanding PST and AEST in 2026
Time zone abbreviations like PST and AEST are handy shorthand, but they hide a trap: several regions reuse the same letters, and many switch their underlying offset twice a year for daylight saving. PST maps to Pacific Time (US) and AEST maps to Australian Eastern Time here. Rather than memorising raw offsets, check the live conversion above -- it uses today's date and the IANA time zone database, so you never get it wrong.
For meetings with three or more locations, drop the cities into the meeting planner, which computes the live overlap with daylight saving baked in for every city at once.
Frequently Asked Questions: PST to AEST
What is the time difference between PST and AEST in 2026?
AEST (Australian Eastern Time, UTC+10/+11) and PST (Pacific Time (US), UTC-8/-7) are in different time zones. The exact gap is shown live above using IANA time zone data. Where a time zone observes daylight saving, the gap shifts by 1 hour seasonally -- this tool always uses the current rule.
When it's 9:00 AM PST, what time is it in AEST?
Check the live hourly conversion table above. Because PST and AEST may each observe DST on different schedules, the conversion depends on the current date. The green rows show when AEST is in working hours.
What does PST stand for?
PST stands for Pacific Time (US), with a UTC offset of UTC-8/-7. AEST stands for Australian Eastern Time, with a UTC offset of UTC+10/+11. Note that some abbreviations like CST are reused across regions (China Standard Time vs Central Standard Time) -- always check the full time zone name to avoid confusion.
Is PST the same year-round?
No. PST (Pacific Time (US)) changes between standard and daylight time. The standard offset is UTC-8 and the daylight offset is -7.
Is AEST the same year-round?
No. AEST (Australian Eastern Time) changes between standard and daylight time. The standard offset is UTC+10 and the daylight offset is +11.

How do I convert between PST and AEST for recurring meetings?
Bookmark this page and check it at the start of each season. Because at least one of these time zones observes DST, the conversion may shift by 1 hour during DST transitions. The live table above always uses the current date so you see the correct conversion.
