Addresses = 2^(32 - CIDR)
This calculator applies the formula Addresses = 2^(32 - CIDR). Enter each value with the matching unit, and AZCalculate updates the result instantly.
Assumptions
Avoid mistakes
Follow the reasoning, not only the final number.
Enter the known values in the calculator fields.
Starting with clearly defined values and units prevents the most common calculation errors.
Keep the units consistent with the labels shown beside each input.
This step transforms the known values into the form required by the formula.
Apply the formula: Addresses = 2^(32 - CIDR).
This step transforms the known values into the form required by the formula.
Review the primary result and supporting values.
Compare the result with your real-world goal, such as plan network ranges.
Worked example
Total addresses: 256; Usable hosts: 254
