A Subnet Calculator is a powerful networking tool that helps IT professionals, students, and network administrators quickly calculate subnet information for IP addresses. By entering an IP address and subnet mask, the calculator instantly provides crucial details such as the network address, broadcast address, first host, last host, and the total number of valid hosts per subnet.

This tool is highly useful for designing and managing efficient IP networks. Subnetting allows network engineers to break down a large IP network into smaller, more manageable segments, improving performance, enhancing security, and reducing network congestion. With the Subnet Calculator, you can:

• Determine network and broadcast addresses with ease.

• Identify the range of usable IP addresses within a subnet.

• Calculate the number of possible hosts per subnet.

• Understand subnet mask and prefix length (CIDR) notations.

• Plan IP allocation effectively for different devices, servers, and departments.
