PST and BOT examples

These examples always use PST (UTC-8) and BOT (UTC-4). They stay the same when you change the date or time above. The selected conversion may differ when daylight saving time applies.

PST is 4 hours behind BOT.

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

How the time difference changes

For most of the year, PDT is 3 hours behind BOT. At other times of the year, PST is 4 hours behind BOT.

For most of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in PDT correspond to 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm in BOT. At other times of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in PST correspond to 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm in BOT.

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