UTC Offset represents the difference in hours and minutes from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for a specific location. When you check My IP or My IP address, IP lookup tools often detect the corresponding UTC offset based on your My IP location.
Example – UTC Offset by IP
- IPv4:
203.0.113.5 → UTC−05:00 → Eastern Standard Time (EST)
- IPv6:
2604:1380:1234:abcd::1 → UTC+01:00 → Central European Time (CET)
- My IP in India → UTC+05:30 → India Standard Time (IST)
