Free IPv4 Subnet & CIDR Calculator
Calculate IP network parameters including subnet mask, broadcast, CIDR prefix, and host range instantly.
Understanding IP Addressing and Subnetting
In computer networking, IPv4 addresses are 32-bit numerical labels assigned to each device connected to a network. Subnetting is the practice of dividing a single large physical network into multiple smaller logical sub-networks (subnets). This division is critical for improving network performance, reducing broadcast traffic congestion, and enforcing security boundaries between departments.
Key Benefits & Features
Computes network IDs, first/last usable host addresses, and broadcast targets.
Displays 32-bit binary representations for network bitmask analysis.
Ideal for configuring VPC subnets, firewall rules, and router blocks.
Perform instant subnet calculations with zero software installs or account creation.

- 1
Enter IP Address: Input your starting IPv4 address (e.g. 192.168.1.1).
- 2
Select CIDR Mask: Choose your CIDR subnet mask prefix (/1 to /32).
- 3
Calculate Subnet: Instantly view usable host ranges, broadcast IP, and binary netmask data.
Practical Examples
IP: 192.168.1.50, CIDR: /24
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a subnet mask in IPv4 networking?▼
A subnet mask is a 32-bit number that separates an IP address into network and host components.
How many usable IP addresses are in a /24 subnet?▼
A /24 subnet has 256 total IP addresses, providing 254 usable host IPs after deducting network and broadcast addresses.
What is CIDR notation?▼
CIDR notation represents IP subnets using a slash followed by the prefix bit length (e.g. /24 = 255.255.255.0).
