- Read as a subnet mask.
- Cisco ACLs and OSPF network statements use the wildcard mask.
How to use Subnet Mask Calculator
Type a prefix (/26), a subnet mask or a wildcard mask, or switch to “Number of hosts needed”. The reference table highlights the matching row.
How it works
A subnet mask is a run of 1 bits followed by 0 bits; the wildcard mask is its bitwise inverse, used by Cisco ACLs and OSPF. Usable hosts are 2^(32 − prefix) − 2, except /31 and /32.
Example
255.255.255.192 is /26 with wildcard 0.0.0.63 and 62 usable hosts; 50 hosts need at least a /26.
Questions about Subnet Mask Calculator
Is Subnet Mask Calculator free, and do I need an account?
Yes. This tool is free to use in your browser without an account. Processing takes place on your device.
What are the limits and what should I check?
IPv4 only. Non-contiguous masks are rejected. 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 are read as subnet masks. Everything is calculated in your browser; nothing is sent or probed on the network. Review the result before using it in your work.
