Overview

The Time Zone Calculator computes the time difference between two cities or time zones and converts a specific time from one zone to another. It is essential for international travel, global meetings, and cross-border business communication.

Formula

Time Difference = Destination UTC Offset − Origin UTC Offset. Korea Standard Time (KST) is UTC+9.

How to Use

  1. 1Select the origin (or your current) time zone.
  2. 2Select the destination (or the other party's) time zone.
  3. 3The time difference and the current time in the other city are displayed automatically.
  4. 4Enter a specific time to convert it to the destination time zone.

Tips

  • Countries that observe Daylight Saving Time (DST) may shift by 1 hour depending on the season.
  • South Korea does not observe DST, so KST remains UTC+9 year-round.
  • Share international meeting schedules in UTC to avoid confusion.
  • The United States spans 4+ time zones, so confirm the exact city.
