How to count capacity of electrical service panel?

The electrical service panel in my house is physically full, but I'd like to know if additional amperage can be added. How do I count? Just add up the 120V amperages printed on the breaker switches? Do I count the bracketed-together 240V switches the same? Any tips? Then how do I know what the whole panel is rated, and what service is supplied to my house?
