HKT to MST Converter

Converting Hong Kong Time to Mountain Standard Time

Hong Kong Time (HKT) and Mountain Standard Time (MST) are separated by a 15 hours time difference. MST is 15 hours behind HKT. HKT is UTC+8, used in Hong Kong, China, while MST is UTC-7, used in United States, Canada.

When converting from HKT to MST, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM HKT equals 6:00 PM MST, 12:00 PM noon HKT equals 9:00 PM MST, and 5:00 PM HKT equals 2:00 AM MST. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across HKT and MST

For professionals scheduling meetings between HKT and MST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 15 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

HKT does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+8 year-round. MST observes DST, switching to MDT (UTC-6). During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
