Towing & Payload Calculator
Use this as a basic payload sense-check by comparing GVM with the vehicle’s starting weight, occupants/cargo and tow-ball download.
Estimated result—
How it works
Nominal payload = GVM − vehicle weight. Remaining payload = nominal payload − people/cargo − tow-ball download.
Example
A 3,200 kg GVM vehicle at 2,400 kg with 350 kg of people/cargo and 250 kg ball download has about 200 kg remaining on this simple calculation.
Useful things to know
- This is not a complete towing-compliance calculator.
- GCM, axle ratings, maximum towing capacity, actual loaded weights and tow-ball limits all matter.
- Use measured weighbridge figures and manufacturer specifications when checking a real combination.
