Calculate vehicle payload capacity, payload used, payload remaining, GVWR usage, tongue weight impact, cargo allowance, and payload margin. Use this payload calculator for trucks, SUVs, vans, towing setups, work loads, and travel trailers.
Payload remaining:
Subtracts driver, passengers, cargo, accessories, hitch weight, and tongue weight from total payload capacity.
Payload capacity:
Calculates the difference between GVWR and curb weight.
Tongue weight impact:
Estimates how much trailer tongue weight uses vehicle payload.
Available cargo weight:
Shows how much cargo can be added after accounting for passengers, accessories, hitch weight, tongue weight, and safety margin.
A payload calculator helps estimate whether your vehicle load may be within its weight limits.
It can help check truck payload, SUV cargo loading, towing setups, camper weight, tongue weight, work equipment, passengers, and GVWR usage.
Your result shows payload capacity, payload used, payload remaining, tongue weight, GVWR usage, safety-adjusted remaining payload, and available cargo weight. These are estimates based on the values you enter.
Subtract curb weight from GVWR. The result is the estimated amount of weight the vehicle can carry.
Payload includes the driver, passengers, cargo, tools, aftermarket accessories, hitch equipment, roof racks, and trailer tongue weight.
Yes. Trailer tongue weight presses down on the hitch and counts against vehicle payload.
Check the tire and loading sticker on the driver-side door jamb and your owner’s manual. Those ratings are specific to your vehicle configuration.
