Timezone Fairness Planner

Find meeting windows that minimize off-hours burden across up to three locations, then rotate when no comfortable overlap exists.

Team locations

Enter each location's current UTC offset. Check daylight-saving changes before sending the invite.

How the ranking works

The planner tests every 30-minute start across a 24-hour UTC day. For each location, it measures how much of the meeting falls before the workday starts or after it ends. Options are ranked by the lowest combined off-hours burden, then by the lowest burden assigned to any one location.

A zero-minute score means the entire meeting fits inside every stated workday.

Fairness needs a rotation, not one perfect slot

When offices have no overlap, the mathematically lowest total burden may still repeatedly inconvenience the same people. Choose two or three viable windows and rotate them across the meeting series.

Review the pattern over a quarter. Count early starts and late finishes by location, and make exceptions for caregiving, accessibility, or local working agreements.

Important limitation

Verify the date in a real calendar

UTC offsets change with daylight-saving rules and those rules differ by country. Use this planner to compare patterns, then verify the chosen date for every location before sending the invitation.
