Does it account for Daylight Saving Time?

Yes, our converter uses the IANA timezone database, which includes all current DST rules for every timezone in the world.

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks. All timezones are defined as offsets from UTC.

Can I compare multiple timezones at once?

Yes, you can add multiple cities or timezones and see the equivalent times side by side.

How many timezones are there in the world?

There are 38 distinct UTC offsets in use, ranging from UTC-12 to UTC+14. This includes half-hour (UTC+5:30 India, UTC+9:30 Australia) and 45-minute offsets (UTC+5:45 Nepal, UTC+8:45 Australia).

What is the International Date Line?

The International Date Line (IDL) runs roughly along the 180° meridian in the Pacific Ocean. When you cross it westward, you gain a day; crossing eastward, you lose a day.

Why do some timezones have 30 or 45 minute offsets?

Countries chose offsets that best matched their solar noon. India uses UTC+5:30 and Nepal uses UTC+5:45 because standard hourly offsets didn't align well with their geography.

Which country has the most timezones?

France has the most (12 timezones) due to overseas territories. Russia spans 11 timezones. The US has 6 (including Hawaii and Alaska).

Why people convert Dhaka to PST time

Scheduling a call from Dhaka to PST: a 10:00 AM start in Dhaka lands at 8:00 PM in PST the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a -14h gap: Dhaka and PST have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in PST is 7:00 PM in Dhaka.
Watching a live event or market open: Dhaka viewers need 7:00 PM in PST to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 2:00 PM if the event is anchored to Dhaka.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM BDST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -14h gap is not.
With a -14h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Dhaka takes the early slot, the next week PST does.

About BDST (Bangladesh Standard Time)

Bangladesh Standard Time (BDST) is the single time zone used across Bangladesh, fixed at UTC+06:00 all year. Bangladesh has not observed daylight saving time since a short-lived experiment in 2009, so the gap between Bangladesh and every other zone is constant. Dhaka, the capital, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Because the country sits close to the middle of the UTC+06:00 band, solar noon is near 12:00 for most of the year. BDST is listed separately from British Summer Time, which shares the BST abbreviation but is UTC+01:00.

About PST (Pacific Standard Time)

Pacific Standard Time (PST) covers the west coast of North America, including tech hubs like San Francisco and Seattle, and entertainment capital Los Angeles. The Pacific Time Zone is home to Silicon Valley and the world's largest technology companies. During summer, clocks advance to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-07:00). PST is also observed in Baja California, Mexico.

Best time to call between Dhaka and PST

With a -14h offset there is no overlap inside a normal 9 AM – 5 PM day. PST opens at 9:00 AM PST, which is 7:00 PM in Dhaka, so real-time calls need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side.

Business hours overlap

Dhaka and PST have no shared working hours because of the -14h gap. Teams need to alternate early starts or rely on asynchronous handovers.

Dhaka is 14 hours behind PST (BDST UTC+06:00 → PST UTC-08:00). There is no shared 9-to-5 window, so plan around an early or late slot. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
