Convert a specific time from PST to MSK
Pick any time and date to convert it both ways. The conversion runs in your browser against the real zone rules, so a date inside a daylight saving period gets that period's offset rather than today's.

What are the best hours to schedule a call between PST and MSK?
No hour of the standard 9:00 am to 5:00 pm working day falls inside working hours on both sides. Pacific and Moscow are 10 hours apart, which is too far for an overlap, so somebody has to take a call outside their own working day. The least painful options are below, ranked by how close both sides sit to the middle of the afternoon.
| PST | MSK | Working hours | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7:00 am | 5:00 pm | neither side | early morning in Pacific, evening in Moscow |
| 8:00 am | 6:00 pm | neither side | mid morning in Pacific, evening in Moscow |
| 9:00 am | 7:00 pm | PST only | mid morning in Pacific, evening in Moscow |
Does daylight saving change PST to MSK?
Pacific Time is currently on PDT and changes next on Sunday, November 1, 2026, when the clock falls back from 1:59 am to 1:00 am and the offset moves from UTC-7 to UTC-8.
Moscow Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+3 offset holds every day of the year.
Because the two sides do not move together, the answer to this conversion changes during the year. For part of the year the gap is 10 hours and for the rest it is 11 hours. The table above is built for today, not for an average day.
Is PST ahead of or behind MSK?
PST is behind MSK by 10 hours: when it is 12:00 pm in Pacific, it is 10:00 pm in Moscow. One wrinkle worth knowing: PST and PDT are two names for the same zone, not two zones. Pacific Time reads PST in winter and PDT in summer. When somebody types "pst to msk" they nearly always mean the zone rather than the literal winter offset, so this page resolves PST to America/Los_Angeles and MSK to Europe/Moscow and applies whichever offset is genuinely in force on the day.
Pacific Time covers Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver. Moscow Time covers Moscow and western Russia, fixed since 2014. The identifiers behind them are America/Los_Angeles and Europe/Moscow, which is what any calendar or scheduling system should be storing rather than a fixed number of hours.
