How to Use the PDT to WIB Converter
PDT to WIB Converter explained: the offsets, daylight saving and quick conversions, worked out for any date you pick.
A call with a team in California, a launch at 9 am Pacific, a release at midnight PT: from Jakarta, you need PDT to WIB, and the answer depends on the time of year.
While the US is on daylight saving, Pacific time is PDT (UTC-7) and WIB is 14 hours ahead. In winter it is PST (UTC-8) and the gap is 15 hours. Pick a date and this converter uses the right one.
PDT, PST and WIB
- PDT: Pacific Daylight Time, UTC-7, from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
- PST: Pacific Standard Time, UTC-8, the rest of the year.
- WIB: Western Indonesia Time, UTC+7 all year. Indonesia has no daylight saving.

Tips
- Many people write PDT all year. If the date falls between November and March, the time is really PST, and WIB is 15 hours ahead, not 14.
- The weeks around the March and November changes catch people out. Pick the actual date in the converter rather than counting.
- The table under the result also shows WITA (Bali) and WIT (Papua), one and two hours ahead of WIB.
