Preliminary estimate only. Trailer, code, and local rules vary — check your local rules and confirm with a licensed engineer or your trailer manufacturer before building, moving, or parking a tiny home.

Total loaded weight (lb)
Capacity remaining (lb)
GVWR used (%)
Per axle, 2 axles (lb)

How it works

Total loaded weight is home weight plus trailer empty weight. Capacity remaining is GVWR minus that total. Per-axle load here is simply total divided by 2 axles — a starting estimate only, since real axle loads depend on load placement and tongue weight.

Frequently asked questions

What is GVWR?

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: the maximum the loaded trailer may weigh, as rated by its manufacturer. It is not a target to aim for.

Should I trust an estimated home weight?

No. Estimates are for planning only. Weigh the finished home before you tow it.
