Convert a specific time from MST to PHT
Pick any time and date to convert it both ways. The conversion runs in your browser against the real zone rules, so a date inside a daylight saving period gets that period's offset rather than today's.
What is the time difference between MST and PHT?
Philippine Time is 14 hours ahead of Mountain Time. To go from MST to PHT you add 14 hours. That gap is not fixed.

What are the best hours to schedule a call between MST and PHT?
No hour of the standard 9:00 am to 5:00 pm working day falls inside working hours on both sides. Mountain and Philippine are 14 hours apart, which is too far for an overlap, so somebody has to take a call outside their own working day. The least painful options are below, ranked by how close both sides sit to the middle of the afternoon.
| MST | PHT | Working hours | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5:00 pm | 7:00 am the next day | neither side | evening in Mountain, early morning in Philippine |
| 6:00 pm | 8:00 am the next day | neither side | evening in Mountain, mid morning in Philippine |
| 7:00 pm | 9:00 am the next day | PHT only | evening in Mountain, mid morning in Philippine |
Does daylight saving change MST to PHT?
Mountain Time is currently on MDT and changes next on Sunday, November 1, 2026, when the clock falls back from 1:59 am to 1:00 am and the offset moves from UTC-6 to UTC-7.
Philippine Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+8 offset holds every day of the year.
Because the two sides do not move together, the answer to this conversion changes during the year. For part of the year the gap is 14 hours and for the rest it is 15 hours. The table above is built for today, not for an average day.
Is MST ahead of or behind PHT?
MST is behind PHT by 14 hours: when it is 12:00 pm in Mountain, it is 2:00 am the next day in Philippine. One wrinkle worth knowing: MST and MDT are two names for the same zone, not two zones. Mountain Time reads MST in winter and MDT in summer. When somebody types "mst to pht" they nearly always mean the zone rather than the literal winter offset, so this page resolves MST to America/Denver and PHT to Asia/Manila and applies whichever offset is genuinely in force on the day.
Mountain Time covers Denver, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque and Calgary. Philippine Time covers Manila, Cebu and Davao. The identifiers behind them are America/Denver and Asia/Manila, which is what any calendar or scheduling system should be storing rather than a fixed number of hours.
