Shear force, V is generally simply the area of the bolt, A times the allowable shear stress Fv.
V = A * Fv
Thus the key is finding the allowable shear stress. In the US, the AISC puts out two steel design manuals, ASD and LRFD.
Refer to one or the other.

all bolts are different, different materials, different heat treatments, different threads, different diameters & thicknesses, and differnt loading situations.
Nail sized things can generally hold 50lbs, 1/4 inch thingys are ofthen rated to 350lbs, but if you are worried about this at all and/or if bolt failure might cause someone to me injured or killed then you need to find the manufacturer, as only they know how strong thier bolts are for sure.
