How to use it

  1. Enter time in gmt and day in gmt (optional).
  2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
  3. Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.

How it is calculated

GST time = GMT time + 4 hours, because GST is UTC+4 and GMT is UTC+0. If the result reaches 24:00 or more, subtract 24 hours and move to the next day; if it drops below 00:00, add 24 hours and move to the previous day.

Example

Inputs: Time in GMT = 22:00, Day in GMT (optional) = Thursday. Result: Time in GST: 02:00; Day change: Next day (+1); Offset difference (GST minus GMT): 4 hours.

Limits and caveats

  • Fixed offsets are used: GMT = UTC+0 and GST = UTC+4, whatever the date.
  • London leaves GMT for BST (UTC+1) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October; the tool does not apply that change.
  • GST here is Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4) of the UAE and Oman.

Questions about this tool

What time is 09:00 GMT in GST?

09:00 GMT is 13:00 GST on the same day, because GST is 4 hours ahead of GMT.

Does daylight saving time change the result?

The tool keeps GMT at UTC+0 all year. London leaves GMT for BST (UTC+1) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October; in that period the gap between London and GST is 3 hours.

Which GST does this tool use?

Here GST means Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4, used in the UAE and Oman. The same letters also stand for South Georgia Time (UTC-2), which is rarely meant.
