If you need a tabular representation of relationships and source of the various variables representing a chunk from /32 to /0 subnets use iptab command. This is useful if you are allocating IPs to end users. Following information is displayed with the command:
=> CIDR notation

=> Network Mask

=> Available Networks

=> Available Hosts per network

=> Total usable hosts

$ iptab
Sample output:

iptab is nothing but a perl script and part of perl-Net-IP package. Here is script listing (download link):

    if 0; # not running under some shell

use Net::IP;
