What is HST in MST?

Mountain Time is 4 hours ahead

Hawaii Standard Time is on UTC−10:00 and Mountain Time is on UTC−6:00 right now. Mountain Time is on daylight saving, so its clocks read MDT. The gap changes during the year — see below.

When the difference changes

Hawaii Standard Time and Mountain Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:

  1. NowNovember 1, 2026Mountain Time is 4 hours ahead
  2. November 1, 2026March 14, 2027Mountain Time is 3 hours ahead
  3. March 14, 2027onwardsMountain Time is 4 hours ahead

Periods shorter than a day are not listed: both zones change at 2am in their own local time, so there are a few hours on each transition date when the gap is briefly something else.

Scheduling between the two

Working hours overlap from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm HST, which is 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm MDT. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.

Hawaii Standard Time (HST) is used in all of Hawaii, which does not observe daylight saving

Mountain Time (MDT) is used in Salt Lake City, Albuquerque and Calgary. Arizona keeps MST all year and does not follow MDT.
