Standard Time:
When converting from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC),
first use the conversion table below.
From UTC to Local Time:
| Eastern Standard Time (EST) | UTC - 5 hours = EST | |
| Central Standard Time (CST) | UTC - 6 hours = CST | |
| Mountain Standard Time (MST) | UTC - 7 hours = MST | |
| Pacific Standard Time (PST) | UTC - 8 hours = PST |
Next, the local time is converted from a 24 Hour Clock to an AM/PM time.
Some Examples:
|
If the local time on the 24 hour clock is less than 0000, then you have crossed over to the previous day. So for example, -0400 becomes 2000 the day before. | |||||

When converting from UTC to Daylight Saving Time,
the conversions are similar but the UTC Time is one hour less than when
converting than its Standard Time counterpart.

| Central Daylight Time (CDT) | UTC - 5 hours = CDT | |
| Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) | UTC - 6 hours = MDT | |
| Pacific Daylight Time (PST) | UTC - 7 hours = PDT |
Next, the local time is converted from a
24 Hour Clock to an AM/PM time.
Some Examples:
|
