Oil Filter Change Question

So, went to change the oil and didn't have the right oil filter Oil Filter Wrench (duh) which I discovered after draining the oil. So, ordered the correct wrench (the one I had fit but wouldn't grab well enough so clearly not the exact one) which will be here in a few days.

My question: How much oil will I loose (put the new oil in without changing the filter) by jut removing the filter and replacing. I can capture the oil but want to know if I'll have a gusher on my hands, just a quart or two, or not much.

Thoughts?

No lack of prep can account for stupidity, I know.
