What Is the Time Difference Between the UK and Germany?
Germany is 1 hour ahead of the UK all year. So 9:00 AM in the UK is 10:00 AM in Germany, and 12:00 PM in the UK is 1:00 PM in Germany. The gap never changes, because both countries move their clocks on the same dates each year.
How to Convert UK Time to Germany Time
You can convert UK time to German time manually in three steps.
Step 1
Start With the UK Time
Take the time in the UK. For example, 3:00 PM.
Step 2
Add 1 Hour
3:00 PM plus 1 hour gives 4:00 PM in Germany.
Step 3
Adjust the Date if Needed
If the result passes midnight, the date in Germany is one day ahead of the UK date. For example, 11:30 PM in the UK is 12:30 AM the next day in Germany.
This works all year. In winter the UK is on GMT and Germany is on CET. In summer the UK is on BST and Germany is on CEST. Either way, Germany is exactly 1 hour ahead.

UK Time vs Germany Time: Why the Difference Stays 1 Hour
Both countries move their clocks for daylight saving time. The UK switches between Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1). Germany switches between Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2).
Unlike the UK and the US, whose clock changes fall on different dates, the UK and Germany change on the same days: the last Sunday of March and the last Sunday of October, both at 01:00 UTC. That is why the gap stays at 1 hour throughout the year. Here is how it works in 2026.
| Period (2026) | US Pacific Time | UK Time | Time Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 1 – Mar 7 | PST (UTC−8) | GMT (UTC+0) | 8 hours |
| Mar 8 – Mar 28 | PDT (UTC−7) | GMT (UTC+0) | 7 hours |
| Mar 29 – Oct 24 | PDT (UTC−7) | BST (UTC+1) | 8 hours |
| Oct 25 – Oct 31 | PDT (UTC−7) | GMT (UTC+0) | 7 hours |
| Nov 1 – Dec 31 | PST (UTC−8) | GMT (UTC+0) | 8 hours |
Tip: The 2026 clock changes fall on March 29 and October 25. On those mornings, double-check any meeting set for the early hours, since the clocks move at 01:00 UTC.
Best Time for a Meeting Between the UK and Germany
With only a 1-hour gap, the working days of the UK and Germany overlap for most of the day. The UK office day starts an hour later than the German one on the local clock, and it ends an hour earlier.
| Pacific Time (PST) | UK Time (GMT) | Suitability |
|---|---|---|
| 7:00 AM – 8:00 AM | 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM | Good (early start for the US) |
| 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM | 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM | Best overlap |
| 9:30 AM – 10:00 AM | 5:30 PM – 6:00 PM | Fair (late for the UK) |
| 10:00 AM onward | 6:00 PM onward | Outside UK office hours |
A standard 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM workday in the UK runs from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Germany.

Clocks go forward on the last Sunday of March and back on the last Sunday of October.
