Towing Calculator in Finland

How to Use the Towing Calculator in Finland

Properly calculating towing capacity is crucial for safe driving in Finland. Our towing calculator helps drivers comply with strict Finnish regulations while ensuring road safety. Follow these steps for accurate results:

Step 1: Enter Vehicle Details

Start with your vehicle's official weight from the registration documents. This includes all standard equipment and fluids. For motorhomes, use the fully loaded weight.

Step 2: Trailer Specifications

Input the trailer's actual weight when loaded. Remember Finnish law requires brakes for trailers over 750kg. Select your trailer type - standard trailers have different requirements than heavy equipment trailers.

Step 3: Understand Finnish Regulations

The calculator checks two key Finnish requirements: Total weight (vehicle + trailer) must not exceed 3,500kg for B-category licenses. Trailers over 750kg need proper braking systems. Special rules apply for winter driving from November to March.

Why This Matters

Using the towing capacity calculator helps avoid fines up to €200 for overweight trailers. It ensures your insurance remains valid in case of accidents. Proper calculations also improve road safety on Finland's often icy roads.

Special Considerations

For caravans: Add 150kg for personal belongings in calculations. Heavy equipment trailers require CE certification in Finland. Northern regions have lower speed limits when towing.
