How is the time zone difference calculated?+
The calculator subtracts one location's UTC offset from the other's. For example, a location at UTC+2 and one at UTC-5 have a difference of 7 hours.
Why do some time zones have a 30 or 45 minute offset?+
Not all time zones are set to whole-hour offsets from UTC; some countries, like India (UTC+5:30) or Nepal (UTC+5:45), use half-hour or 45-minute offsets for historical or geographic reasons.
Does the calculator adjust for daylight saving time automatically?+
It uses the offset you specify for the relevant date; since not all countries observe daylight saving time, and those that do change on different dates, you should confirm the current offset for both locations before relying on the result.
Is the time zone difference the same all year?+
No, it can change twice a year in regions that observe daylight saving time, and even more if the two locations switch on different dates, temporarily shifting the difference by an extra hour.
How do I use this to schedule a call with someone in another time zone?+
Once you know the difference, add or subtract it from your local time to find the equivalent time at the other location, then check it falls within reasonable working hours there.
