Works for the most common remote work timezone pairs

How to find the best meeting time in 3 steps

  2. Add your team's cities — up to 4 timezones at once
  3. Click a green slot — then copy the shareable link

Why timezone scheduling is harder than it looks

The obvious problem is the offset — London is 5 hours ahead of New York. But the hidden problem is daylight saving time. The USA and Europe switch their clocks on different dates, so the gap between two cities changes twice a year. Pakistan and India don't observe DST at all, making their relationship with US and European timezones shift seasonally. Overlap uses real IANA timezone data to handle all of this automatically, so the overlap you see is always accurate for today's date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about timezone differences, meeting scheduling, and how Overlap works.

A timezone overlap tool shows you the hours that fall within working hours (typically 9am–6pm) for multiple people in different locations at the same time. Instead of manually converting times, you select your cities and instantly see a color-coded visual showing when everyone is available. Overlap does this with a shareable link so you can send the exact meeting time to anyone.

The time difference between the USA and UK depends on which US timezone you're in. New York (EST) is 5 hours behind London in winter and 4 hours behind in summer due to daylight saving time. Los Angeles (PST) is 8 hours behind London in winter and 7–8 hours in summer. The overlap window for a 9am–6pm workday is roughly 2–5 hours depending on the season.

Pakistan (PKT, UTC+5) is always 5 hours ahead of the UK in winter (GMT) and 4 hours ahead in summer (BST) because Pakistan does not observe daylight saving time. This means if it's 9am in London, it's 2pm in Karachi. The working hour overlap window between Pakistan and the UK is roughly 4–5 hours: 9am–1pm London time (2pm–6pm Karachi time).

India (IST, UTC+5:30) is 9.5 hours ahead of New York (EST) in winter and 10.5 hours ahead in summer. For Los Angeles (PST), India is 13.5 hours ahead. This means finding overlap for a standard 9am–6pm workday is very challenging — typically only 30 minutes to 2 hours of shared working time exist. Many India–USA remote teams work early mornings or late evenings on one side.

Germany (CET, UTC+1) is typically 6 hours ahead of New York and 9 hours ahead of Los Angeles. The most practical overlap is 9am–11am EST (3pm–5pm CET) — both within standard business hours. For US West Coast teams, finding a mutual window is very difficult as it requires very early mornings on one side.

Yes. Overlap uses your browser's built-in IANA timezone data, which automatically accounts for daylight saving time changes. This means the overlap calculation is always accurate for today's date — even during the weeks when the USA and Europe switch their clocks on different dates.

After selecting your timezones and clicking a time slot on the Overlap timeline, click "Copy meeting link." This copies a URL with all your selections encoded. When your colleague opens the link, they see the same timezones highlighted — and their local time shown prominently. No sign-up, no calendar access needed.

Yes, completely free. No account, no sign-up, no ads. Just select your timezones, find your overlap, and share the link.

Pakistan (PKT, UTC+5) and India (IST, UTC+5:30) are only 30 minutes apart — India is 30 minutes ahead of Pakistan. This makes scheduling between Pakistan and India very easy, with almost complete working hour overlap. Both countries also do not observe daylight saving time, so the 30-minute difference is constant year-round.

UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time — it's the global time standard that all timezones are measured against. When you see "UTC+5" (like Pakistan) it means that timezone is 5 hours ahead of UTC. UTC matters for meetings because it's a neutral reference point — instead of saying "let's meet at 3pm your time or my time?", you can say "3pm UTC" and everyone converts to their local time. Overlap does this conversion automatically.

Two reasons: daylight saving time changes the offset twice a year, and the same abbreviation (like CST) can mean different timezones in different countries. Tools like Overlap use IANA city-based timezone data instead of abbreviations, which eliminates both sources of confusion.

Yes. Overlap is fully responsive and works on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop. The timeline scrolls horizontally on small screens, and the timezone pickers and time cards stack vertically for easy tap access.
