How many usable IPs are in a /29 subnet? or Can someone explain how many IPs you get with a /29?

Hey everyone,

Quick question—can someone break down how many ips you actually get with a /29? I’ve seen different answers and it’s kinda confusing.

Like, I know the /29 gives you a block, but how many are *usable* after network and broadcast? Is it 6 or 8 total?

Just trying to set up a small network and don’t wanna mess this up lol.

Thanks in advance!

(Also, if anyone’s got a simple way to calculate /29 how many ips, that’d be awesome.)
