Georgia time zone and daylight saving time
A time zone is not just a number like “UTC+4” but a rule: how far local time is from world time, and on which dates that changes. Those rules for every city are kept in the IANA tz database, the same one your phone and laptop use, so the clock on this page matches what your phone will show after landing.
If you live in a US state that observes daylight saving time, your clocks move twice a year, and the time difference with Georgia moves with them: by one hour in March and again in November. We don't state whether Georgia itself changes its clocks. The difference here is calculated from the database for today's date, so if the rules ever change, this page follows automatically. In tzdata, Georgia has a single zone for the whole country.
Georgia time zone in the IANA database: Asia/Tbilisi. Rules come from tzdata version 2026c; we don't edit them by hand.

How we calculate the time
The clock uses the IANA zone Asia/Tbilisi and the zone of your city. We never store a fixed UTC offset, because it changes wherever clocks move for daylight saving. The no-JavaScript version is calculated with Python zoneinfo at build time, and the live clock uses the browser's built-in Intl.DateTimeFormat. Both read the same tzdata (version 2026c). Page built September 29, 2026. The live clock reads your device time and never polls our server.
