How to convert time from Pacific Standard Time (PST) to New Zealand Standard Time (NZST)
Converting between Pacific Standard Time (PST)
and New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) could be
challenging. As companies become more global, we find ourselves in
a mess of calendar invites. Time changes from PST cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego are 18 hour(s) apart to NZST cities like Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, holiday schedules, and the basic
communication becomes a juggling act. To make it easier to

Step 1: Understanding Pacific Standard Time and New Zealand Standard Time
Pacific Standard Time is UTC-7, which means that the
local time in the Pacific Standard Time zone is -7
hours apart from UTC. New Zealand Standard Time is UTC12,
which means that the local time in the New Zealand Standard Time zone is 12 hours apart from UTC.
