MVT and PST examples

These examples always use MVT (UTC+5) and PST (UTC-8). They stay the same when you change the date or time above. The selected conversion may differ when daylight saving time applies.

MVT is 13 hours ahead of PST.

PST uses UTC-8 during standard time. For Pacific Time that follows daylight saving time, use MVT to PT. For daylight-time examples, use MVT to PDT.

How the time difference changes

For most of the year, MVT is 12 hours ahead of PDT. At other times of the year, MVT is 13 hours ahead of PST.

For most of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in MVT correspond to 9:00 pm (previous day) to 5:00 am in PDT. At other times of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in MVT correspond to 8:00 pm (previous day) to 4:00 am in PST.

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