You can check its output in a DAW that shows volume in decibels.

Hey JPQ,
Lots of limiter plug-ins will give you a peak read-out of your signal in db, that should give you a good number to use for headroom or summing numbers.
The T-RackS system has VERY precise tools for this and the EXCELLENT Metering module is available as a stand-alone package for under $40 usd. Its also great for getting a look at what your full mixes are doing in terms of phase, frequency balance and perceived loudness.
Hope this helps,

At least in Logic Pro there is also plugin which shows levels but is still bit complex.
