A quick guide to AKST → IST: the time gap, the live clocks, scheduling tips, and how we keep it accurate.
How does the AKST to IST converter work?
It takes three quick steps:
- Click the AKST field on the left and pick the time you want to convert.
- The matching IST time updates on the right automatically — there’s no button to press.
- Need a different day? Click the date field and the result follows, rolling over if it crosses midnight.
How many hours apart are AKST and IST?
IST is 10 hours ahead of AKST. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just add 10 hours to get the other — so a call between Anchorage and Dublin is always 10 hours apart.
What's the current time in IST?
Right now the time in Irish Standard Time (IST) is Monday, June 29, 2026 · 6:53:57 PM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live IST clock.
And what time is it in AKST?
And in Alaska Standard Time (AKST), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 8:53:57 AM. Compare the two and the 10 hours gap is easy to see.
Planning a meeting across AKST and IST?
For example, a 9:00 AM AKST meeting takes place at 7:00 PM IST. The trick is to aim for a slot that lands inside normal working hours on both sides. Once you’ve found a time, hit Share on the converter to copy a link with the time built in — easy to send to a colleague. Juggling three or more zones? The meeting planner highlights the hours that overlap for everyone.
Does daylight saving time change the AKST–IST difference?
The labels AKST and IST are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. Both regions move their clocks for daylight saving on roughly the same weekends, so the 10 hours gap usually holds steady right through the year.
How accurate is this AKST to IST conversion?
We don’t guess. AKST and IST times are worked out from the official IANA time zone database, the trusted standard that operating systems use worldwide. Because daylight-saving rules and regional offsets do change over time, we track those updates rather than relying on a fixed number — which is exactly where many converters slip up.

Frequently asked questions
How many hours ahead of AKST is IST?
IST is 10 hours ahead of AKST — a fixed 10 hours difference, since both are fixed-offset labels.
What time is it in IST when it's 12:00 PM AKST?

Do AKST or IST use daylight saving time?
Alaska Standard Time (AKST) observes daylight saving, alternating with AKDT; Irish Standard Time (IST) observes daylight saving, alternating with GMT.
Why might the real-world AKST–IST difference change during the year?
The labels AKST and IST are fixed offsets, so this converter is always exact. But Alaska Standard Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want AKDT to IST. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
