Why people convert Jakarta to Los Angeles time
- Scheduling a call from Jakarta to Los Angeles: a 10:00 AM start in Jakarta lands at 8:00 PM in Los Angeles the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a -14h gap: Jakarta and Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles is 7:00 PM in Jakarta.
- Coordinating a Jakarta-based team with Los Angeles contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM WIB" 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 Jakarta takes the early slot, the next week Los Angeles does.
- Los Angeles: Clocks fall back on Sun, Nov 1, 2026. Any meeting series spanning that date will shift by an hour in local time.
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.
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.
