How to use the CIDR Calculator
- Enter an IP address with its prefix length in CIDR notation (e.g.,
192.168.1.0/24). - Click Calculate or use a quick preset.
- The tool shows network address, broadcast, first and last host, subnet mask, wildcard mask, and host count.
CIDR notation explained
CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) represents an IP range as a base address followed by a prefix length (/24). The prefix length specifies how many bits are the network part. The remaining bits define the host addresses within the network.
- /24 β 256 addresses, 254 usable hosts
- /25 β 128 addresses, 126 usable hosts
- /16 β 65,536 addresses, 65,534 usable hosts
- /8 β 16,777,216 addresses
Network address and broadcast address cannot be assigned to hosts, hence usable hosts = 2^(32βprefix) β 2.
