How Time Zone Conversion Works
Time zone conversion works by comparing the UTC offset of one location to another. Every city or region is measured relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which acts as the global reference point for civil time.
NZST is 22 hours ahead of HST (standard time).
Daylight Saving Time: NZST observes DST; HST does not. The offset between them shifts by 1 hour twice a year — in spring and autumn — when NZST changes its clocks.

HST · Hawaii Time
Standard offset −10:00
Hawaii Time remains on a constant standard offset for the year.
Hawaii does not observe DST. The Aleutian Islands portion of HAST does observe DST (becoming HADT, UTC−9), but population there is negligible. For practical purposes HST is a fixed-offset zone.

New Zealand (Pacific/Auckland) transitions between NZST (UTC+12, winter) and NZDT (UTC+13, summer). NZDT is also represented as a separate record covering the daylight-time state specifically. Chatham Islands use separate offsets (UTC+12:45 / UTC+13:45) and are not included here.
