Trailer Tongue Weight Calculator
Set tongue weight for a trailer.
How the Trailer Tongue Weight Calculator works
Trailer Tongue Weight Calculator turns trailer weight and tongue percent into tongue weight. It computes that as loaded trailer weight times the tongue-weight percentage.
Worked example: with Trailer weight 6200, Tongue percent 12, this tool returns tongue weight 744 lb, axle load 5456 lb. That default state is deterministic, so you can check the page against a known result before trusting your own numbers.
