If no time zone is given or if the given time zone is not supported, then the output will default to 0; In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. -30, 45, etc.) can also be given; This exact offset will then be used as the output (this functionality is merely included for template compatibility).

If you live in a region that utilizes daylight saving time (DST), the offset needs to be manually changed when DST occurs. For example, in Southern Ontario, in the Eastern Time Zone, the offset would be -5. When the Eastern time zone is experiencing daylight saving time, the argument -4 is used in the template instead of -5.
The main purpose of this page is to list the current standard time offsets of different countries, territories and regions. Information on daylight saving time or historical changes in offsets can be found in the individual offset articles (e.g. UTC+01:00) or the country-specific time articles (e.g. Time in Russia).
Map of U.S. time zones with new CST and EST areas displayed. Some U.S. time zones, such as the Samoa Time Zone, are not on this map. This is a list of the time offsets by U.S. states, federal district, and territories. For more about the time zones of the U.S. see time in the United States. Most states are entirely contained within one time zone.
The first variable of the template is required and can be UTC with or without an offset, GMT, or your time zone's abbreviation. The second variable is the image you wish to use. There are four images to from which to choose, or you can leave it blank, and your time zone's abbreviation will be displayed where the image would be.
The time is calculated based on the offset from UTC for the specified timezone taking into account whether daylight saving time is currently active in that timezone. The offset for each implemented timezone is calculated in a sub template (except for UTC).
This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Time zone}}). {{ Time zone }} can be used to quickly and consistently link to an article on a timezone, while automatically displaying the deviation from UTC .
