Pacific/Auckland · UTC+12
Depending on the date, New Zealand is either UTC+12 on NZST or UTC+13 on NZDT. New Zealand Daylight Time runs from the last Sunday in September to the first Sunday in April. Rather than guess, read the live clock above: it follows the Pacific/Auckland zone and changes over on its own. New Zealand runs one of the longest daylight-saving periods anywhere, at close to seven months, and the Chatham Islands sit 45 minutes ahead of the mainland.

Common questions
- What time is it in New Zealand right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in New Zealand, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. It reads your device's clock and converts it using the Pacific/Auckland rules, so it stays correct across daylight-saving changes.
- What is the UTC offset in New Zealand?
- NZST is UTC+12 and NZDT is UTC+13. New Zealand is on NZDT from the last Sunday in September to the first Sunday in April, and on NZST for the rest of the year.
- Does New Zealand observe daylight saving time?
- Yes. Clocks go forward an hour for New Zealand Daylight Time, which runs from the last Sunday in September to the first Sunday in April, and back again at the end of it.
- What is the IANA timezone for New Zealand?
- Pacific/Auckland. That is the identifier to use in code (a database column, a cron schedule, an Intl.DateTimeFormat call), because it carries the full history of offset and daylight-saving changes for New Zealand rather than one fixed number.
