Hi Miguel,
Is it possible to have a small calculator to see how my rating is going to be affected if I lose, win or draw against an opponent with a given rating?

Yes, that is possible and I thought about doing it but decided against it. The reason I didn't do it is because the system can't predict the rating changes because ratings are calculated when the game ends. What the system shows before starting a game can be a totally different thing than what will actually happen at the end, your opponent may have risen several hundred points while playing against you and you will have no way to get out of that game.
For that reason I thought it was best to let people estimate ratings changes and decided if they want to take the risk.
