How accurate is the time shown?

It uses your device clock, so it is as accurate as your system time (usually synced to within a fraction of a second).

Why does the offset change during the year?

Many regions observe daylight saving time and move their clocks forward one hour in summer.

Is the time shown accurate?

It comes from your device's clock, corrected to the time zone you choose using the IANA database, so it is as accurate as your device — usually within a second of official time.

Why is India half an hour off everywhere else?

India uses a single zone at UTC+5:30, chosen as a midpoint across the country. Nepal goes further still, at UTC+5:45.

Does this follow daylight saving?

Yes, automatically. The zone database knows the rules for each place and year, including places that have changed or abandoned daylight saving.

Example: Current Local Time or Time Zone Conversion

2. Enter Location or Time Zone

Example: Convert New York time to Tokyo time

3. Click ‘Convert’

The tool provides the exact current time or converted time instantly.

Examples

Example 1: Convert New York Time to London Time

Input:

Current Time in New York: 8:00 AM
Convert To: London Time

Calculation:

8:00AM+5 hours=1:00PM

Result:

8:00 AM (New York) = 1:00 PM (London)

Example 2: Convert 24-Hour Format to 12-Hour Format

Input:

Time in 24-Hour Format: 18:45

Calculation:

18:45−12=6:45 PM

Result:

18:45 (24-hour) = 6:45 PM (12-hour)
