Frequently Asked Questions

Our calculator automatically handles daylight saving time (DST) transitions. Time zones like EST/EDT and PST/PDT automatically switch between standard and daylight time based on the current date. The system uses your device's current date to determine the correct offset.
GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) are essentially the same for practical purposes, but UTC is the modern standard. UTC doesn't observe daylight saving time and serves as the global time reference. Our calculator uses UTC as the universal baseline.
Our conversions are highly accurate and account for current daylight saving time rules. The calculator uses JavaScript's built-in Intl.DateTimeFormat API, which automatically handles complex timezone rules, historical changes, and DST transitions for maximum accuracy.
Currently, the calculator includes the most commonly used time zones for major cities. These cover the primary business and travel destinations worldwide. The selected time zones represent different UTC offsets and DST patterns used globally.
Some locations share the same time zone. For example, cities within the same country or region often have identical times. Additionally, during certain periods of the year, some locations may temporarily show the same time due to daylight saving time transitions occurring at different dates.
