Advice needed on subnetting

Hello,

I'm working for a small company where i want to create some subnets, 1 subnet for the servers, 1 for main office and 2 subnets for other offices

This is what i had in mind:

192.168.1.0 = server subnet (10 servers)
192.168.2.0 = main office (30 workplaces)
192.168.3.0 = other office (10 workplaces)
192.168.4.0 = other office (10 workplaces)

Now is the question what subnetmask i need to use... most simple should be 255.255.0.0 but i'm affraid i will get bad performance because broadcasts and so.

Please advice, i'm a beginner in subnetting.

Thanks

Ok, first off all thanks for the answers!!

The other 2 offices are indeed remote offices so the plan is to use routers and setup a VPN.

question: is it correct that i have to configure the routing table on each router and add all ip ranges?

i'm new to this so if i forgot to mention some information just let me know.

Thanks
