Meeting Time Planner
Convert one meeting time across several time zones and see who is inside working hours.
Enter a valid date and time.
Daylight-saving rules come from your browser’s time zone database and apply on the date you choose.
Choose a date and a time in one time zone, add the other places your participants are in, and the tool shows the local date and time in each. It also marks whether that moment falls inside working hours for each place.
It is built for scheduling calls across countries, and it uses the date you pick, so daylight saving time is applied correctly for that day rather than for today.
How meeting time planner works
The tool first turns your date, time and time zone into one exact moment in time. It then shows that same moment as the wall-clock time in every zone on the list, using the time zone database that ships with your browser.
Working hours default to 9 to 17 and can be changed. A location is marked as within working hours when its local time is at or after the start and before the end.
Because clocks change on different dates in different countries, the gap between two places can differ by an hour for a few weeks each year. Always check the date you actually plan to meet.
Worked example: a 15:00 UTC call on 15 October 2026
At 15:00 UTC on 15 October 2026 it is 11:00 in New York (UTC−4, daylight time), 16:00 in London (UTC+1, British Summer Time) and 00:00 on 16 October in Tokyo (UTC+9).
That time is inside a 9 to 17 working day in New York and London but well outside it in Tokyo, so a call at this hour would not suit all three.
When to use this tool
- Scheduling a call for a distributed team.
- Finding a fair slot for a client in another continent.
- Working out when a live event starts in your own time zone.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the time difference is constant all year. Clocks change on different dates in different places.
- Forgetting that the date can differ between zones, as it does for Tokyo in the example.
- Confusing an abbreviation such as “CST”, which is used for several zones, with a named region like America/Chicago.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it handle daylight saving time?
- Yes. It applies the rules for the date you choose, using your browser’s time zone database.
- Why is a city missing from the list?
- Zones are listed by region name, such as Europe/Helsinki or America/New_York, not by every city. Choose the region that shares the city’s clock.
- What if a time does not exist or repeats?
- On the night clocks change, one hour is skipped or repeated. In that case the tool picks a nearby valid moment, so avoid scheduling in that hour.
- Can I share the result?
- Use the Copy button to copy the list of local times as text and paste it into an invite.
