Common Mistakes to Avoid

Confusing the direction of the offset difference

Fix: The formula adds (To − From). Going from UTC-5 to UTC+9 means adding 14 hours, not subtracting. Double-check which zone is source and which is target.

Ignoring daylight saving time

Fix: UTC offsets can change seasonally. For example, New York is UTC-5 in winter (EST) but UTC-4 in summer (EDT). Use the offset that applies on your target date.
