About NZDT
New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT) is UTC+13. It is used in New Zealand from late September to early April.
New Zealand Daylight Time is UTC+13, one of the few offsets past twelve hours and therefore a full calendar day ahead of most of the Americas. New Zealand's summer is the northern hemisphere's winter, so NZDT applies over Christmas — the opposite of every northern daylight-saving abbreviation, and a common mistake in end-of-year scheduling.
About PDT
Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is UTC−7. It is used in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle from March to November.
Pacific Daylight Time is UTC−7, the summer clock for Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver. It is the zone most product launches and software release times are quoted in, and it is worth converting rather than eyeballing: PDT is eight hours behind British Summer Time, not seven, because both sides have moved.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
This gap is seasonal. The abbreviations themselves are fixed offsets, but the region on PDT switches to PST (UTC−8) from November to March. So the 20-hour figure on this page is correct for the part of the year when both places are actually on these abbreviations, and changes by an hour outside it.
NZDT does not shift, so the whole change comes from one side. A recurring meeting fixed in NZDT will appear to move by an hour for everyone on the other side, twice a year, without anyone changing anything.
This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
Frequently asked questions

Is PDT ahead of NZDT?
PDT is 20 hours behind NZDT.
Which time zone does this use?
NZDT is UTC+13 and PDT is UTC−7. Both abbreviations denote a single fixed offset, so this conversion never shifts with daylight saving — what changes is which abbreviation a place is using at the time.
