What This Calculator Actually Does for You

This converter is built specifically to shift time back and forth between PST (Pacific Time) and HST (Hawaii). You choose a date and time, pick your starting timezone (either Pacific or Hawaiian), and it will give you the accurate converted time on the other side. It takes into account daylight saving time if you want it to and even lets you show the UTC offset if that’s helpful for your planning.

Who Finds This Handy

If you're setting up meetings, flights, remote work shifts, or just want to keep up with someone living on another island or coast, this tool is spot on. Whether you’re in San Francisco planning a client call with someone in Honolulu, or in Oahu scheduling a virtual training session with a team in Seattle, this keeps both sides aligned.

How to Use It, Step by Step

Set the Time and Date

Start by selecting the time and date in the Pacific or Hawaiian section, depending on which side you're starting from. The default is Pacific, but you can switch.

Pick Your Starting Timezone

The dropdown lets you toggle between PST/PDT and HST as your input timezone. The other side updates automatically based on your choice.

Hit Convert or Let It Do It For You

If Auto Convert is turned on (it is by default), the tool will do the math as soon as you make a change. Otherwise, just press the “Convert Time” button.

Need It Reversed? Use the Swap Button

The “Swap” button switches the direction of conversion instantly, without you having to re-enter anything.

Working With Right Now? Tap ‘Now’

If you're planning something that’s happening immediately, the “Now” button fills in the current time for the selected timezone.

Want a Clean Slate? Reset It

The “Reset” button clears everything and puts the settings back to default. That includes switching input back to Pacific Time and restoring the current date and time.

Extra Features You Might Miss If You Don’t Look Twice

Auto Convert

This checkbox is on by default. If you turn it off, you’ll need to manually press “Convert Time” after making changes.

Daylight Saving Aware

This feature makes sure the tool knows if Pacific Time is in PST or PDT, which affects the time difference. Hawaii doesn’t change, but Pacific Time does depending on the time of year.

Show UTC Offset

This adds the UTC offset next to each timezone’s label. It’s great for comparing with other regions or keeping records clear.

12-Hour vs 24-Hour Format

Use the toggle at the bottom of the tool to switch how the time appears. Some people think clearer in AM/PM, others prefer military time.

One Example, Real World

If you're based in Canada’s Pacific coast (🇨🇦) and working with a nonprofit team located in Hawaii (🇺🇸), coordinating calls is much easier with this. Let’s say you want to host a 9:30 AM session while it’s still early for them. You enter your local time and quickly see it's 6:30 AM in Hawaii. From there, you can make the right call on rescheduling or nudging it later.

Know Your Time, Even With the Waves in Between

From Los Angeles to Honolulu, this converter gives you a clean and reliable way to line up your schedules without guesswork. You don’t have to memorize which date daylight saving kicks in or which timezone changes and when. The tool does all of that under the hood, giving you the clarity you need to focus on what actually matters—being on time.
