Daylight Saving Time
Is it “spring forward” or “fall back?” Did you lose an hour of sleep last night? DST confusion is a universal pain point. This calculator tells you the exact status of Daylight Saving Time for any date and region, ensuring your international calls and flight times are always correct.

Stop Guessing: Daylight Saving Time
1. Simple Input: Pick Your Date and Place
You need to tell the tool which date and time zone you care about.
- Select Date: Click the input field and choose the date you want to check. The tool will check the status for that specific day.
- Select Timezone: Use the dropdown menu to choose a major region, like United States or European Union. This selection applies the correct set of DST rules for that area.
Relatable: You are trying to schedule a remote meeting with a team overseas, and you need to know if they are on DST or Standard Time. This eliminates awkward time zone math.
2. Find Transitions
Click the yellow “Find DST Transitions” button to run the calculation.
3. Read the Results: Status and Schedule
The results section provides three clear outputs:
- Current DST Status: The large box immediately shows if the selected date is in ☀️ DST Active (clocks moved forward) or 🌙 Standard Time (clocks moved back).
- Nearest Transitions: These two panels give you the hard dates you need:
- Previous Transition: The last time the clock changed.
- Next Transition: The next scheduled time the clock will change.
Transition History: This timeline shows both the “Spring Forward” and “Fall Back” dates for the entire selected year, detailing the action and status for each event. If the region does not observe DST (like Equatorial areas), the result will clearly state “No DST.”
