Tips for scheduling across time zones

Frequently asked questions about time zone conversion

How do I convert time zones?

Enter the date, time, and your source time zone, then select the destination time zone. The converter accounts for Daylight Saving Time automatically using your browser's built-in timezone data.

What is Daylight Saving Time and does this calculator account for it?

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of advancing clocks by one hour during summer months. The US springs forward on the second Sunday in March and falls back on the first Sunday in November. This calculator handles DST automatically for all supported zones.

How far ahead or behind is New York from London?

New York (Eastern) is 5 hours behind London (GMT) in winter, and 4 hours behind during summer when both regions observe DST. The difference changes briefly in spring and fall when the two regions switch DST dates on different days.

What is UTC and how does it differ from GMT?

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the world's primary time standard. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is a time zone that equals UTC in winter. They are effectively the same for most practical purposes, though they differ technically.

What time zones does the US use?

The contiguous US has four time zones: Eastern (UTC-5/-4), Central (UTC-6/-5), Mountain (UTC-7/-6), and Pacific (UTC-8/-7). Alaska (UTC-9/-8) and Hawaii (UTC-10, no DST) bring the total to six zones.

How do I schedule a meeting across multiple time zones?

Use the Meeting Time Finder tool (linked below) to find windows where all participants are within their working hours. For a quick check, convert your proposed meeting time to each participant's zone using this converter.

Why is the time different from what I expected?

DST transitions can cause unexpected results. Double-check whether both zones are currently observing DST, and verify the exact date you're converting — the day before or after a DST change can shift results by an hour.
