How to tell total tcp segment length.

I'm wondering how to know what the total segment length is without looking at the ip header. TCP only has a header length field and a maximum segment size. Say the maximum segment size is 1000 bytes. I can still send a payload size of 500 bytes, so then there would be no way (as far as I know) of telling the size of the data or total size of the TCP segment.
