A lot of factors involved in working it out, but it should state it on the manufacturers plate attached to the trailer, well ours do anyway.
A 10ft x 6ft Trailer rated to 2000kg with Over-ride Trailer Brakes and High sides would weigh approx 700kg with Jockey Wheel and spare tyre.
They're the trailers I sell anyway. Certainly not the most Heavy Duty on the market, but they do the job for us around here.

Cheers

Take it to a weighbridge and find out, I had to do that when I got the engineering certificate for the ute with the v8 and 5 speed.
