Time Zone Calculator

The Time Zone Calculator is a handy tool that allows you to convert the time between different time zones globally, factoring in time differences and daylight saving time changes.

What is the purpose of the Time Zone Calculator?

The Time Zone Calculator helps you convert the current time from one time zone to another.

Time Zone Calculator formula

To calculate the time difference between two time zones, use the formula:

Converted Time = Original Time + Time Difference (hours)

If Daylight Saving Time (DST) is in effect in one or both of the time zones, you need to adjust the formula by adding an extra hour.

Time Zone Calculator examples

Here are two examples to show how to use the Time Zone Calculator:

Example 1: Time Zone Calculation (Standard Case)

1. Let’s say the time in New York is 2:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time).
2. You want to convert it to London time (Greenwich Mean Time).
3. The time difference between New York and London is 5 hours.
4. Apply the formula:
   Converted Time = 2:00 PM + 5 hours = 7:00 PM (London Time)
   Result: When it is 2:00 PM in New York, it is 7:00 PM in London.

Example 2: Time Zone Calculation (Daylight Saving Time)

1. Let’s say the time in Los Angeles is 10:00 AM (Pacific Daylight Time).
2. You want to convert it to Paris time (Central European Summer Time).
3. The time difference between Los Angeles and Paris is 9 hours. However, since Paris is observing Daylight Saving Time (DST), you need to add an extra hour.
4. Apply the formula:
   Converted Time = 10:00 AM + 9 hours + 1 hour (DST) = 8:00 PM (Paris Time)
   Result: When it is 10:00 AM in Los Angeles, it is 8:00 PM in Paris.

With the Time Zone Calculator, you can easily calculate the time in different time zones, whether or not Daylight Saving Time is in effect.
