Using aptitude with it's gui will give you those data.
To be exact, at the confirmation step, you can see:
_ total amount of data to download
_ total amount of space which will be added/removed
_ amount of data to download per package
_ amount of data which will be freed/used per package
Since the gui is able to do that, I guess the cli will have some option
too, but I only rarely use cli, except with dpkg :)
