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.

KST is 3 hours behind NZST (standard time).

Daylight Saving Time: NZST observes DST; KST does not. The offset between them shifts by 1 hour twice a year — in spring and autumn — when NZST changes its clocks.

DST schedule for 2026

Current-year daylight saving start and end dates for the selected zones.

NZST · New Zealand Time

Standard offset +12:00

Observes DST

Starts: Sep 27, 2026 · 02:00 → 03:00; last_sunday_of_september
Ends: Apr 5, 2026 · 03:00 → 02:00; first_sunday_of_april
Daylight time: NZDT · +13:00

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.

KST · Korea Time

Standard offset +09:00

Does not observe DST

Korea Time remains on a constant standard offset for the year.

South Korea does not currently observe DST; temporary DST experiments ended in 1988.
