Time Zone Converter accuracy and testing

This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.

Formula source

1. Convert the source time to UTC by subtracting the 'From' offset. 2. Convert UTC to the target time by adding the 'To' offset. 3. Normalize the result to a 24-hour format.

Test cases

Default input regression check

Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.

Inputs

Local Time: 12:00
From Offset: UTC-5 (EST)
To Offset: UTC+1 (CET)

Expected outputs

Target Time: 18:00

Known limitations

This tool relies on manual offset selection. It does not automatically detect DST rules for specific cities.

Assumptions

The calculator works from manual UTC offsets rather than city-specific timezone databases.
Daylight Saving Time must be accounted for by selecting the correct source and destination offsets yourself.
The output focuses on the converted clock time and may imply a previous or next day without labeling the date change.

Unit handling

Local Time accepts local time values.
From Offset accepts one of the configured options.
To Offset accepts one of the configured options.

Rounding rules

Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
