How to convert between time zones

Enter the local time and select both offsets.

1

Enter the local time

Use a 24-hour clock for the source time.

2

Select the source offset

Choose the offset currently in effect where the time is measured.

3

Select the target offset

The result shows the converted clock time and any date change.

What does this tool do?

Time zones are defined by their offset from UTC, and crossing several zones can move the clock into the next or previous day. This converter uses fixed offsets, so it does not apply daylight saving rules.

The Formula

Target time = source time + (target offset − source offset)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the date change?

When the converted time passes midnight, the clock rolls into the next or previous day. The day-change row tells you which.

Does this handle daylight saving time?

No. It uses the fixed offsets you select. For a specific date, use the offset that region observes on that date, including daylight saving if applicable.
