UTC to PST Converter

Converting Coordinated Universal Time to Pacific Standard Time

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and Pacific Standard Time (PST) are separated by a 8 hours time difference. PST is 8 hours behind UTC. UTC is UTC+0, while PST is UTC-8, used in United States, Canada.

When converting from UTC to PST, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM UTC equals 1:00 AM PST, 12:00 PM noon UTC equals 4:00 AM PST, and 5:00 PM UTC equals 9:00 AM PST. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across UTC and PST

For professionals scheduling meetings between UTC and PST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 8 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

UTC does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+0 year-round. PST observes DST, switching to PDT (UTC-7). During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
