Yes, people should be included in payload calculations.


The weight of passengers significantly contributes to the overall load. Regulatory bodies consider passenger weight in total payload calculations. You should also include the weight of pets in your calculations to ensure you have the entire family included.


Payload refers to the total weight that a vehicle can safely carry. This includes the cargo, the weight of passengers, and any additional items inside the vehicle.
