IPv4 Subnet CIDR

Calculate an IPv4 CIDR block’s network address, broadcast address and address capacity.

How this calculator works

Enter ipv4 address, cidr prefix length. Select Calculate to apply the displayed formula and review the labeled results.

Formula / method

Addresses = 2^(32 − prefix); network = address AND subnet mask

Worked example

192.168.1.42/24 belongs to network 192.168.1.0 with broadcast address 192.168.1.255.

Assumptions and limitations

The input is a dotted-decimal IPv4 address and the prefix is an integer from 0 through 32.

Usable-host conventions differ for /31 point-to-point and /32 host routes; IPv6 is not included.
