What Is My UTC Offset?

Your current offset, your standard offset, your IANA zone, and whether daylight saving is in effect.

Your UTC offset is how far your clock sits from Coordinated Universal Time right now. This page reports that, your zone's standard offset, whether daylight saving is currently applied, and the IANA identifier your browser uses — the four facts that between them describe your local time completely.

Offset, zone and DST are three different things

An offset is a number. A zone is a place with a history of rules. Daylight saving is one of those rules. Two places can share an offset in January and differ by an hour in July, which is why an offset alone can never identify a location — the point laboured, correctly, in what is my UTC offset.

Where the browser gets this

Your browser reads the operating system's zone setting and applies the bundled IANA rules. A VPN does not change it, because the zone is a device setting rather than a network property — explained in how browsers determine local time.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my UTC offset?
It is displayed above, read from your device's own time zone setting, along with whether daylight saving is currently applied.
Does a VPN change my time zone?
No. Your time zone comes from your operating system's settings, not from your IP address, so a VPN leaves the clock untouched.
Why does my offset change during the year?
Because your region observes daylight saving. The page shows both your standard offset and your current one so the difference is visible.
