Does the converter account for daylight saving time?

Yes, it uses each timezone's rules for the specific date entered, not just its standard UTC offset, so a conversion in July may differ by an hour from the same conversion in January for timezones that observe DST.

Why is the time difference not a whole number of hours, like 30 minutes?

Some timezones (such as India Standard Time at UTC+5:30, or parts of Australia) use a half-hour or 45-minute offset from UTC rather than a whole hour, so the converted time can land on the half hour.

How this is calculated

Converted time = source time adjusted by the target timezone's UTC offset

Assumptions used in this calculation

Timezone database: Uses the IANA timezone database, applying the DST and offset rules in effect for the specific date entered, not just the current offset.
