How to Use This Calculator

Select a date and time, choose your "From" time zone (default: SAST — Johannesburg/Cape Town) and "To" time zone. The calculator handles daylight saving time (DST) changes automatically, so your conversions to Europe, USA, and Australia will be accurate year-round.

The Extended Calculator below includes a meeting planner with colour-coded work hours and a multi-zone world clock. The Professional Calculator offers a full 24-hour schedule grid and travel itinerary tracker.

SAST — Key Offsets

SAST (UTC+2) — South Africa, year-round (no DST) London: SAST − 2 hrs (winter), SAST − 1 hr (summer BST) Dubai: SAST + 2 hrs India: SAST + 3.5 hrs Singapore: SAST + 6 hrs Sydney: SAST + 8 hrs (AEST), + 9 hrs (AEDT) New York: SAST − 7 hrs (EST), − 6 hrs (EDT)

South Africa does not observe Daylight Saving Time, making SAST a stable reference — but the countries you're converting TO may shift by 1 hour seasonally.

Example

Business Call Planning

Your Johannesburg office wants to schedule a call with a London partner and a New York client.

A 10:00 SAST meeting = 08:00 London (winter) = 03:00 New York (EST)

Better option: 16:00 SAST = 14:00 London = 09:00 New York (EST) — works for all!

Frequently Asked Questions

No. South Africa uses SAST (South African Standard Time, UTC+2) year-round and does not change clocks. This means the offset between SAST and other countries that do observe DST (like the UK, Europe, and the USA) changes twice a year in March and October/November.
Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and all of South Africa use SAST — South African Standard Time — which is UTC+2 all year. This is the same time zone as Egypt, Israel, and most of eastern Europe in winter (CET+1).
In South African winter (June–August): SAST is UTC+2, UK is UTC+1 (BST), so there is only 1-hour difference. A 9am–5pm UK working day corresponds to 10am–6pm SAST. In SA summer (November–February): UK reverts to GMT (UTC+0), so SAST is 2 hours ahead — a 9am UK call is 11am SAST.
Sydney (AEST) is UTC+10, so normally 8 hours ahead of SAST. When Australia is on daylight saving (AEDT, UTC+11, October–April), the difference is 9 hours. Perth (AWST, UTC+8) is 6 hours ahead of SAST. This large time difference makes real-time meetings challenging — early morning SA time is the sweet spot.
