4.1.2 Calculating the payload
The payload is the difference in weight between

Maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition and

Vehicle mass complete in a ready-to-drive condition.

Payload calculation at the manufacturer is partly based on all-inclusive
weights. For safety reasons, the maximum permissible gross weight in
a laden condition must not be exceeded.

Only the maximum permissible gross weight and the mass in a ready-to-
drive condition, not the actual weight of the vehicle, is stated in the
vehicle documents. For your own safety, we recommend that you have
your loaded vehicle (with passengers) weighed on a public weighbridge
before you set out on your journey.
