BST and GAMT examples

These examples always use BST (UTC+1) and GAMT (UTC-9). They stay the same when you change the date or time above. The selected conversion may differ when daylight saving time applies.

BST is 10 hours ahead of GAMT.

How the time difference changes

For most of the year, BST is 10 hours ahead of GAMT. At other times of the year, GMT is 9 hours ahead of GAMT.

For most of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in BST correspond to 11:00 pm (previous day) to 7:00 am in GAMT. At other times of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in GMT correspond to 12:00 am to 8:00 am in GAMT.

Compare BST time with GAMT time, including current local time, UTC offsets, time difference, daylight saving changes, working hours, and shareable meeting times.
