CREATE EXTENSION pgstattuple;

SELECT tuple_percent, dead_tuple_percent, free_percent
FROM pgstattuple('table_name');

Note that pgstattuple('tablename') will only show the bloat on the table itself and not the indexes, nor any possibly associated TOAST tables.

Script I've been working on tries to help make pgstattuple a little more useful by scanning all relevant pieces that it can for a given table.
