Calculated. Every time, offset and daylight-saving date on this page comes from the IANA time zone database applied to Antigua and Barbuda's zone rules, not from a person checking a clock there. That makes the technical data reliable and current, but it means this page does not claim any local knowledge beyond it — for business hours, public holidays or working weeks, use a local or official source. The methodology page sets out exactly what is computed and from what.
