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.
MST is 19 hours behind NZST (standard time).
Daylight Saving Time: Both NZST and MST observe DST, but on opposite-hemisphere schedules. When one springs forward, the other falls back — so the offset shifts four times per year instead of the usual two.

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.
