MTOW and RTOW

Hello Guys,

Can you'll explain the difference between MTOW and RTOW while calculating ?

For example Airbus A320 has a MTOW of 73500 Kg.

If the question asks about the MTOW. Calculating and considering all the QNH, AC and other corrections, if the Max take off weight comes to 78500 kg. What is my RTOW and MTOW here ?

I was checking an F'COM and the examples to calculate the MTOW, left the answer at 78500 kg. Shouldn't it be 73500 kg cause that's the max we can carry anyway ? Little confused here.

Thanks in advance
