How to Calculate Time Differences Manually

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: General Time Knowledge

While most people rely on smartphone apps to calculate time zone differences, manual calculation skills can be handy when technology isn’t accessible. The basic step is to note the UTC offset of each location and subtract or add the difference. For instance, moving from UTC+2 to UTC-5 requires a shift of seven hours backward. Daylight saving rules may complicate this arithmetic if one region observes it and another does not. Knowing how to do quick mental calculations fosters independence, especially when traveling or confirming multiple meeting times.
