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).

Understanding the +3h 30m Gap: Tehran vs Jakarta

Tehran runs on Iran Standard Time (IRST) at UTC+03:30. Jakarta runs on Western Indonesia Time (WIB) at UTC+07:00. That puts Tehran 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of Jakarta — a difference of +3h 30m at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Tehran it is 12:30 PM in Jakarta. Midnight in Tehran is 3:30 AM in Jakarta. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert Tehran to Jakarta time

Scheduling a call from Tehran to Jakarta: a 10:00 AM start in Tehran lands at 1:30 PM in Jakarta, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Tehran and Jakarta are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 1:30 PM IRST time (12:30 PM–5:00 PM WIB). That is roughly 4 hours 30 minutes of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: Tehran viewers need 12:30 PM in Jakarta to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 8:30 PM if the event is anchored to Tehran.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM IRST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +3h 30m gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–1:30 PM IRST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Tehran and need Jakarta colleagues present.

About IRST (Iran Standard Time)

Iran Standard Time (IRST) is one of the few time zones with a 30-minute offset. Iran observes daylight saving time (IRDT, UTC+04:30) from late March to late September. Tehran, the capital, is one of the largest cities in the Middle East.

About WIB (Western Indonesia Time)

Western Indonesia Time (WIB, Waktu Indonesia Barat) is one of Indonesia's three time zones, fixed at UTC+07:00 all year. It covers Java, Sumatra, West Kalimantan and the provinces around them — home to Jakarta, the country's capital and largest city, plus Surabaya and Bandung. Indonesia does not observe daylight saving time, so WIB never shifts. WIB shares its UTC+07:00 offset with Indochina Time (ICT) and Christmas Island Time, but is a distinct zone covering the western half of the Indonesian archipelago. The country's other zones are WITA (UTC+08:00) in the centre and WIT (UTC+09:00) in the east.

Best time to call between Tehran and Jakarta

Both Tehran and Jakarta sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–1:30 PM IRST, which is 12:30 PM–5:00 PM WIB. That gives roughly 4 hours and 30 minutes of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.

Business hours overlap

Tehran and Jakarta overlap for about 4 hours during the working day — enough for meetings if you avoid the edges of the window.

Tehran is 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of Jakarta (IRST UTC+03:30 → WIB UTC+07:00). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–1:30 PM IRST. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
