CIDR Calculator
Calculate IPv4 CIDR ranges, subnet sizes, wildcard masks, and usable host boundaries with a fast subnetting workflow.
Input
Enter an IPv4 address and a CIDR prefix to calculate subnet boundaries, mask values, and usable host range.
Result
Network boundaries, mask values, host counts, and binary subnet breakdown.
What this means
The IPv4 address 203.0.113.9 belongs to the 203.0.113.8/30 network, and the subnet broadcast boundary is 203.0.113.11.
This subnet provides 4 total addresses and 2 usable host addresses, with a host range from 203.0.113.9 to 203.0.113.10.
The subnet mask is 255.255.255.252, the wildcard mask is 0.0.0.3, and the address falls into Class C.

CIDR quick notes
Useful reminders for subnetting and host calculations.
/24 means 24 network bits and 8 host bits.
Subnet mask shows the network boundary, while wildcard mask is its inverse.
/31 is commonly used for point-to-point links, while /32 represents a single-host route.
