My friend Rudolf Ioffe (BBO nickname levig) made some bridge calculators (in excel) to estimate based on probabilities the expected results of a different decisions during the game and would like to share them. I believe these calculators could be very useful for players of beginner/intermediately level and for bridge teachers.
His website is http://rudioffe.weebly.com.
If you have any questions about calculator you can ask him or me.

Shouldn't these probabilities be based on cards? I don't quite understand the purpose of these calculators.

Of cause, calculators will not do the bridge work for you – you need to use your judgment to estimate probability. Purpose is to make a connection between expected bridge results and estimated profit or loss.

I think like what you said, best for beginners to have a feel of real world probabilities.
