Currently I am flying with minimal weather conditions as I know this plays a role in what FL you fly at. However I was wondering is their a chart or anything that I can reference to help me determine my max FL i can fly for the weight of my aircraft? I Exclusively fly the 777W and so I know on very heavy routes these planes fly at the lower 30,000 levels (under FL35) especially during the beginning of their routes due to the heavy load. But WHEN do I know that I am too heavy for the flight level I am flying at.
Currently Flying to UUDD from OMDB and am flying in the 77W at FL40 with a load of 536,540 lbs (pounds) is this too heavy or this okay to fly at this FL with this weight. Note the weight stated is under my MLW (I don’t need to lose weight to land)

usually if you use Simbrief it gives best initial allitude for heavy-ness and air time, and then further gives step climbs if you wish, it also gives fuel needed passengers and cargo, so you don’t need to worry about overloading
but for a strait up answer on the 777W heavy load I would start at high 20s or low 30s of thousand’s then slowly step climb
