JavaScript getTimezoneOffset() Method

The getTimezoneOffset() method is an inbuilt method in JavaScript which is used to returns the time difference between UTC time and local time, in minutes. For example, if your time zone is GMT+6, -360 (60*6) minutes will be returned. The returned value is not a constant, because Daylight saving time prevents this value from being a constant.

Syntax:

Date.getTimezoneOffset()
