Two options, neither pretty:
1) Go to your trips, click on the details for each flight, break out calculator.
2) Login to your SM account, do a dummy re-booking of the same flights (check fare bucket to make sure you aren't getting a 150% MQM fare or any other similar different result) and it will do the calculator work for you.
If someone else has a better way I'd love to hear it.

This tool allows you to put in your flight segments and status to calculate MQM and RDM:

Yeah I know it's overkill, but EF will give you the MQM's as well. Somewhat useful if you're about to book and want to know how many more miles a connecting itinerary will net you.

When you book a trip on DL.com, as long as you are logged in with your Skymiles membership details, the final itinerary page before you click "Purchase" shows the MQM'S in the bottom left corner. Of course, you then have to remember this or write it down, but that's how I plan different routes and fare classes to see what the MQM'S are - just don't click purchase if you are only planning!

Different airlines use different mileage between the same airports. The various calculators tend to only give you the approximate miles. To find the miles that DL will give you, you must get the numbers from delta.dumb, for instance by doing a dummy booking.

You can also just go to your various itineraries under "My Trips" and click on the flight number. That tells you the miles--which, unless it's a complicated ticket, tends to be the MQM number as well.

This works too, but then you must add the miles for every segment, remembering to be careful about direct flights. The dummy booking method gives you the total for the itinerary, with no additional math required, no pun intended.
