The tool that helped me with pot odds was this Poker Stars skin from Mike4066

One has an odds chart on it! It lists the number of outs and the odds return your money should receive. e.g., 9=1:4 (Flush draw nine outs, one-to-four ratio) means that your dollar call should get you at least a $4 pot, or you fold. Right?
Without a chart, I do it in my head with a rough division -- "how many times does OUTS go into NUMBER OF CARDS I CAN'T SEE(APPROX), rounded and minus one." e.g., flush draw, "9 outs goes into about 45 cards (46, 47, 48 -- I'm gonna round it off anyway, number geeks) about five times -- easy! -- minus one, ok, equals 4 -- they want a dollar from me and the pot will be $4.50 after my bet? -- easy call!"
