Examples

Jakarta to New York

Problem:

Meeting at 9:00 AM WIB (Jakarta). What time is it in New York (EST)?

Solution:
  1. 1.WIB = UTC+7
  2. 2.EST = UTC-5
  3. 3.Difference = 7 - (-5) = 12 hours
  4. 4.9:00 AM WIB = 9:00 - 12 = 9:00 PM (previous day)
Result:9:00 PM EST (previous day)

When it's morning in Jakarta, New York is still the previous evening.

Tokyo to London

Problem:

Event at 8:00 PM JST (Tokyo). What time is it in London (GMT)?

Solution:
  1. 1.JST = UTC+9
  2. 2.GMT = UTC+0
  3. 3.Difference = 9 hours
  4. 4.8:00 PM JST - 9 hours = 11:00 AM GMT
Result:11:00 AM GMT

Tokyo is 9 hours ahead of London.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is UTC?
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the world's primary time standard, practically the same as GMT. All time zones are expressed relative to UTC (e.g., UTC+7 for Western Indonesia Time).
What is Daylight Saving Time?
DST is the practice of advancing clocks by one hour during summer to make better use of daylight. It is used in Europe, the US, and Australia. Indonesia does not use DST.
Why does Indonesia have 3 time zones?
Indonesia spans about 5,000 km east to west, covering roughly 47° of longitude. Three zones (WIB, WITA, WIT) accommodate the geographic difference in solar time.
Which countries differ most from Indonesia?
From WIB (UTC+7), the farthest difference is UTC-12 (Baker Island) = 19 hours behind, or UTC+14 (Line Islands, Kiribati) = 7 hours ahead but on a different calendar date.
