Do a Google search for "Nutritional Calculators". There are lots. For decades I was the administrator for one of the big names in the commercial field, CBORD's "Food Management System" - uses the USDA's database, along with many others, to do what you are asking ( and a lot more things needed for managing commercial food operations).
For private, one off use, I'm currently using "MyFitnessPal" (google it). It does pretty much the same thing, focused on managing weight loss. But it gives me good info on sodium, vitamins, and all the rest, too. Not very good if you want to get into menu planning, but for creating single recipes, it's pretty easy to use. You can even scan package bar codes using your smartphone to have it call up all of the label information automatically, right into the recipe.
If you really want one for meal/menu planning, call your nearest University Food Science/Nutrition school and ask for their recommendations. Then you will get one that you know will be using the best data possible.
