Travel
Calculation method and formula
absolute value(UTC offset at destination [h] − UTC offset at origin [h])
Understand the inputs
- UTC offset at origin
- Unit: Std.. Minimum -12. Maximum 14. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
- UTC offset at destination
- Unit: Std.. Minimum -12. Maximum 14. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Assumptions and limitations
Entered UTC offsets are compared, not cities or travel dates. Check daylight saving and date boundaries yourself; the jetlag value does not predict recovery time.
The formula uses the specified units. Displayed numbers are rounded; whole packs, item counts and full time periods may also be rounded within the calculation.
