What is my timezone?
We estimate your timezone from Internet Protocol geolocation and can compare it with your browser’s reported timezone.

Timezone
IP estimate: America/New_York
Two timezone signals
This page can show a timezone estimated from IP geolocation and compare it with the timezone your browser reports from the device clock. They often match; they diverge when you travel, use a VPN, or set the OS clock to a manual zone.
IP-based timezone is a location hint. Device timezone is what local time, date, and “what day is it” tools on this site use.
Which one to trust
For scheduling and the clock on your device, trust the browser/OS timezone. For “where does this IP look like,” use the IP estimate—and remember city-level geolocation can be wrong.
Change timezone in system settings if the device clock is wrong. A VPN changes IP timezone more often than device timezone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a timezone?
A timezone is a region that shares the same standard time offset from Coordinated Universal Time (for example Asia/Kuala_Lumpur). Your device timezone comes from system settings; we may also estimate one from Internet Protocol location.
Which timezone should I trust?
Your device timezone (from the browser) reflects how your computer is configured. Internet Protocol-based timezone is an estimate from network location data.
How do I change my device timezone?
- Windows:Settings → Time & language → Date & time → Time zone.
- macOS:System Settings → General → Date & Time → Time Zone.
- Linux:timedatectl set-timezone or your desktop’s Date & Time settings.
- iOS/Android:Settings → General/System → Date & Time.

What is Coordinated Universal Time?
Coordinated Universal Time is the global time standard. Timezones are expressed as offsets from Coordinated Universal Time, and names like America/New_York include daylight-saving rules.
Why do Internet Protocol timezone and device timezone differ?
Your device timezone is whatever you configured. Internet Protocol-based timezone follows network geolocation, which can be wrong for VPNs, travel, or coarse Internet Protocol data.
