Frequently Asked Questions about PST and MST

MST is 1 hour ahead of PST, so to convert mentally, add 1 hour to your PST time. For example: 9:00 AM PST = 10:00 AM MST. Our converter automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time so you always get the right result.

MST (Mountain Standard Time, UTC-7) is 1 hour ahead of PST (Pacific Standard Time, UTC-8) during standard time. For example, 9:00 AM PST = 10:00 AM MST. During DST periods, this difference changes by 1 hour when one or both zones observe Daylight Saving Time - our converter automatically applies the correct offset for any date you select.

The best overlap for standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM) in both zones is 09:00–16:00 PST = 10:00–17:00 MST. Schedule recurring calls in this window to keep both sides within normal working hours. Remember to re-check the window in March and November (or March/October for European zones) when DST transitions can shift the overlap by 1 hour.
