About PST to MDT Conversion

Converting time between PST and MST requires understanding their time zone offsets and any daylight saving time adjustments. PST (PST) operates at UTC-8, while MST (MDT) is set to UTC-7. This means MST is 1 hour ahead PST. For example, when it's 6:11 PM PST on February 3, 2026, it's 7:11 PM MDT in MST. Both America/Los_Angeles and America/Denver observes daylight saving time, switching between PST (UTC-8) and PDT (UTC-7). Keep this in mind when converting times, especially during the spring and fall transition periods. Use this converter to quickly find the equivalent time in MST for any time in PST, whether you're scheduling meetings, planning travel, or coordinating with teams across different time zones.
