A tongue weight scale runs around $130. It will answer the question, with absolute accuracy, and no estimations.
Absolute accuracy??? I guess that depends on your definition of "accuracy".
There are several threads and many posts on ORF discussing the accuracy of one particular tongue weight scale.
This thread is just one of them.
I suggest anyone who thinks they can get "absolute accuracy" with a tongue weight scale should read the user comments.
Perhaps the simple formula offered by TundraTower in this post (as requested by the OP), reduced by 10% to account for the effect of axle spacing, will produce an estimate which is more accurate than the reading from an "absolutely accurate" tongue weight scale.

Enough already Ron. A scale will get you a real weight, even if its not "absolutely accurate" in terms of science and engineering with calibration certification. E...nough.
