I use Hashtab in Windows to compute the hash of a file. All I have to do is right click on the file, click properties and in the properties menu there would be a tab called Hash and it contains the hash of the file in different formats like MD5, SHA-1 etc.
Is there something like that for Ubuntu?

You don't say what window manager or file manager you're using.
If you're using Gnome and Nautilus you can install nautilus-gtkhash package. This adds a "Digests" tab to the Properties dialog for a file.
NOTE: You will have to restart Nautilus with
nautilus -q
before the tab will appear.
