About
Subnetic answers a subnet question on one screen and shows its working. Type an address with a prefix, with a mask, or on its own, and the network, broadcast, mask, wildcard and usable host range appear at once — with the binary laid out beneath them.
WHAT MAKES SUBNETIC DIFFERENT
- A prefix slider with the bits drawn under it
Drag from /0 to /32 and the network bits and host bits redraw live. It is the quickest way to see what a prefix actually means. - Three ways to type an address
Address with a slash, address with a mask, or a bare address. All three parse. - The awkward cases handled
A /31 point-to-point link is reported properly instead of as a subnet with no usable hosts, and every address is labelled loopback, link-local, private, public, multicast or reserved. - Split a block, evenly or by need
Pro divides a block into equal subnets at a new prefix, or runs a largest-first allocation against a list of host counts. - IPv6 as well
Pro expands and compresses IPv6 addresses and counts the addresses in blocks far larger than a 64-bit number holds.
PRICING
Included: the IPv4 calculator, the binary breakdown and the prefix slider, with no cap on how often you use them. Subnetic Pro is a one-time in-app purchase, never a subscription. It adds the subnet splitter, variable-length allocation, the IPv6 calculator and copy-all-results.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I calculate a /26 subnet?
- A /26 uses 26 network bits, giving a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192 and 64 addresses per subnet — 62 of them usable for hosts after subtracting the network and broadcast addresses. In Subnetic you can type any address with /26 (or drag the prefix slider to 26) and instantly see the network, broadcast, mask, wildcard, and usable host range, along with a live binary view showing exactly which bits are network and which are host.
- What is CIDR notation and how does it relate to a subnet mask?
- CIDR notation writes an address followed by a slash and the number of network bits, like 192.168.1.0/24 — the /24 is shorthand for the mask 255.255.255.0. It replaced classful addressing so networks can be sized to fit rather than locked to Class A, B, or C boundaries. Subnetic accepts both prefix and dotted-mask input and converts between them as you type.
- Does a subnet calculator need an internet connection?
- No — subnetting is pure arithmetic on the address bits, so there is nothing to look up online. Subnetic runs 100% on-device with no accounts, no network calls, and no tracking, which also means it works in exactly the places network engineers tend to need it: data centers, labs, and sites where the network is down.
- Can Subnetic split a network into smaller subnets with VLSM?
- Yes. The Subnet Splitter in Subnetic Pro can divide a block into equal subnets or pack it by host requirement using VLSM, so each subnet gets just the space it needs. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and also adds a full IPv6 calculator and export/copy-all.
- How many usable hosts are in a /31 or /32 network?
- A /32 is a single host address, and a /31 has only two addresses — under classic rules that left zero usable hosts, but RFC 3021 allows both addresses of a /31 to be used on point-to-point links. Subnetic is RFC 3021 and /32 aware, so it reports these edge cases correctly instead of showing a misleading zero.
