IPv4 CIDR Calculator

Compute network address, broadcast, host range, and capacity for an IPv4 CIDR block.

Description

Compute network address, broadcast, host range, and capacity for an IPv4 CIDR block.

IPv4 CIDR Calculator: Compute network address, broadcast, host range, and capacity for an IPv4 CIDR block.

When to use IPv4 CIDR

Use this network utility to parse, normalize, convert, or derive IPv4, IPv6, subnet, reverse-DNS, or MAC addressing information under a stated prefix convention.

Address
Any address inside the network.
Prefix
Prefix length in bits.

How IPv4 CIDR works

Compute network address, broadcast, host range, and capacity for an IPv4 CIDR block. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Network
Lowest address in the network.
Broadcast
Highest address in the network.
First host
First assignable host.
Last host
Last assignable host.
Total hosts
Assignable host count.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Syntax and arithmetic validity do not establish reachability, ownership, routing, DNS, privacy, or authorization. IPv4 special-use ranges, IPv6 scopes and compression, prefix boundaries, mapped forms, and host-count conventions require explicit handling.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Validate against current IANA registries and the target platform, test boundary prefixes, and use live network tools only with appropriate authorization.
