PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle weight measuring instrument with its installation location easy to change and the weight of a vehicle accurately measured.SOLUTION: This vehicle weight measuring instrument includes: first and second weight meters m1 and m2 comprising first and second loading plates 21 and 31, respectively, differing in height from a horizontal road surface; a storage means 8M for therein storing a vehicle weight calculation expression derived based on an expression prepared in consideration of the balance of moments of force in the event of a first vehicle inclination state in which the front wheel of the vehicle is mounted on the loading plate 21, in the event of a second vehicle inclination state in which the front wheel thereof is mounted on the loading plate 31, and in the event of a third vehicle inclination state in which the rear wheel thereof is mounted on the loading plate 21; and an arithmetic means 8c for acquiring a measurement weight of the first weight meter m1 when the vehicle is in the first vehicle inclination state, a measurement weight of the second weight meter m2 when in the second vehicle inclination state, and a measurement weight of the first weight meter m1 when in the third vehicle inclination state, to calculate the weight of the vehicle based on these acquired measurement weights and the calculation expression.
