Time difference between Los Angeles and Jakarta
Jakarta is 14 hours ahead of Los Angeles
Los Angeles, the United States is UTC−8 · Jakarta, Indonesia is UTC+7 — on standard time
The gap is not the same all year
Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Los Angeles goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November and Jakarta does not change its clocks.
| Los Angeles / Jakarta clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| summer / standard | 14 hours ahead | about 34 weeks — most of the year |
| standard / standard | 15 hours ahead | about 18 weeks |
Jakarta stays put all year while Los Angeles moves, so a meeting fixed in Jakarta's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Los Angeles's end.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Los Angeles and nine-to-five in Jakarta do not overlap at all. With 14 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
