Step 1 of 6

How to Use This Calculator
  1. Select the Tool Type: Subnet Calculator for IP/CIDR analysis, Bandwidth Calculator for transfer time, or VLSM Planning for multi-subnet design.
  2. For subnet mode, enter the four IP Address Octets (e.g., 192.168.1.100) and the CIDR Prefix length (e.g., 24 for a /24 network).
  3. For bandwidth mode, enter the Data Size and unit (MB/GB/TB), your Bandwidth in Mbps or Gbps, and Link Efficiency percentage.
  4. For VLSM mode, set the Starting Network CIDR and enter the required host counts for up to four subnets.
  5. Review the results: Network Address, Broadcast Address, Usable Hosts, or Transfer Time depending on the selected mode.
  6. Consult the comparison tables for common subnet sizes or bandwidth across connection types.

What each input means

Tool Type
Calculation mode to use.
IP Octet 1
First octet of the IP address.
IP Octet 2
Second octet of the IP address.
IP Octet 3
Third octet of the IP address.
IP Octet 4
Fourth octet of the IP address.
CIDR Prefix
CIDR notation subnet mask prefix length.
Link Efficiency
Typical: 70-90% of rated bandwidth.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Tool Type = 0, IP Octet 1 = 192, IP Octet 2 = 168, IP Octet 3 = 1 = 16 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Network Address
    Network Address
    192.168.1.0 = 192.168.1.0
  3. Calculate Usable Hosts
    Usable Hosts
    254 = 254
  4. Calculate Broadcast Address
    Broadcast Address
    192.168.1.255 = 192.168.1.255
  5. Calculate Subnet Mask
    Subnet Mask
    255.255.255.0 = 255.255.255.0
