Peak Atlas

Peak Booking / Time zone planner

10:00 in Berlin
is not 10:00 in New York.

A meeting is a moment; the clock time is only how it is displayed. Example: 10:00 in Berlin is usually 04:00 in New York. Because Europe and the US switch daylight saving time on different days, for a few days in March and October it is 05:00. Use example values to see how much back and forth such meetings cost today.

Meetings times back and forth.
No mental arithmetic.

The amount is the meetings per week with guests in another time zone, the duration the minutes you spend today converting and checking. The comparison scenario stands for a page that shows the guest free times directly in their own time zone.

Frequently asked questions

Does Peak Booking detect the guest's time zone?

Yes. The guest's time zone is detected and free times appear in their local time. You set your availability in your own time zone.

Does the tool convert times?

No. It calculates time per week. The page shows the conversion across daylight saving time with an example.

Where do the numbers in the calculator come from?

From you. The starting values are examples, not an industry figure. The calculator only shows what follows from your own assumptions and promises no result.

Does the demo book a real meeting?

No. The demo runs only in your browser. Nothing is booked, nothing is sent and nothing is saved.
