Default Control surface effectiveness?

Is there a formula or table that can be used to calculate the effect of a control surface?

For example, if I have a trailing edge surface 6 inches long, 2 inches wide and deployed 40 degrees at 20 mph, what is the extra lift (and ideally, drag) generated?

Any advice for this will be very welcome.

Thanks.

Richard
