Can I figure my utility trailers weight with knowing the tongue weight?


I am trying to figure out or find a calculation that would give me my "payload" weight. I am using a utility trailer for junk removal I want to be able to weigh my tongue weight and be able to calculate how much junk got loaded on my trailer. Then I would be able to charge the customer right. Basically I want to be able to get the weight of my trailer while I am standing in someones driveway. The trailers weight is 2400# GVWR 7000# Tandem axle 16 x 7.25 x 4.

the only way to know your empty or loaded weight exactly would be if you had air bag suspension and hooked up an on-board scale that taps into your air line recording extra pressure,,,not sure if they sell scales for spring suspension
