IP Subnet Calculator

Quickly calculate IP subnets, CIDR ranges, and network details.

About IP Subnet Calculator

What is the IP Subnet Calculator?

The IP Subnet Calculator helps network administrators, developers, and IT professionals easily calculate and understand IPv4 subnets. By entering an IP address and selecting a subnet mask or CIDR prefix, users can instantly view key networking information such as the network address, broadcast address, usable IP range, and number of available hosts.

Why Use an IP Subnet Calculator?

Manually calculating subnet information can be error-prone and time-consuming, especially when managing large networks. This tool simplifies the process by automating subnet math, helping users avoid misconfigurations, optimize IP allocation, and ensure efficient network planning. Whether you’re setting up a home lab, configuring a corporate LAN, or segmenting cloud infrastructure, this tool is essential for accurate network design.

Common Use Cases

  • Network engineers planning subnet allocation for new infrastructure.
  • Students and educators learning about IP addressing and CIDR.
  • Sysadmins auditing or troubleshooting existing network setups.
  • Cloud architects designing VPC or subnet ranges for cloud deployments.
  • Penetration testers and cybersecurity pros mapping network layouts.

Key Features

  • Instant Calculations: Quickly generate network and broadcast details.
  • Supports CIDR: Easily work with Classless Inter-Domain Routing notation.
  • Usable IP Range: See the exact start and end IPs for host assignment.
  • Total Hosts: Automatically computes the number of usable hosts per subnet.
  • Simple Interface: Easy-to-use layout designed for beginners and pros alike.

Who Should Use This Tool?

This tool is ideal for IT professionals, system administrators, network engineers, DevOps teams, and anyone working with IP addresses or subnetting. It’s also a great learning resource for students studying for certifications like CompTIA Network+, Cisco CCNA, or AWS networking exams.

Improve Network Efficiency

Understanding how IP subnets work can help reduce waste, improve network performance, and support scalable infrastructure. Use our calculator to plan IPv4 networks confidently and avoid overlapping IP ranges and broadcast collisions.
