Payload Calculator
You want to know how people, gear, and trailer hitch load use your vehicle’s rated payload.
Choose a focused tool
Choose the calculation you need, from payload and tongue weight to GVWR and combined vehicle weight.
Use the full Tow Calculator to compare entered vehicle, trailer and hitch limits and identify the closest available rating.
Payload checks added loads; GVWR checks the vehicle’s loaded total; GCWR checks the vehicle and trailer together. These ratings are not interchangeable.
You want to know how people, gear, and trailer hitch load use your vehicle’s rated payload.
You want to check the combined weight of your trip-ready vehicle and loaded trailer.
You want to compare the weight carried by the vehicle itself with its GVWR.
Build a loaded trailer estimate first if needed. Tongue and pin tools estimate the portion carried at the hitch—not an official tow rating.
You have loaded trailer weight and want to estimate the portion carried at the hitch.
You know dry/UVW weight and need a loaded estimate that includes trip additions.
You need a fifth-wheel pin-load estimate or want to express known pin load as a percentage.
Brake gain requires your controller’s documented procedure. This checklist helps organize preparation without guessing a setting.
You need a checklist for a controller’s documented adjustment process, not a guessed gain number.
