Calculate subnet details from any IPv4 address and CIDR prefix. Network, broadcast, mask, and host range.

About this tool

IP subnetting divides a network into smaller segments for efficient address allocation. Our calculator takes any IPv4 address with CIDR notation and computes network address, broadcast address, subnet mask, first and last usable host addresses, and total usable hosts. Network engineers, sysadmins, and IT students use this for planning network architectures and studying for certifications.
