Once you created a calculated column from site columns gallery, you can add it to the survey website by using a small hack.

1. Go to Survey website and click on "Survey Settings"

2. URL of the new page will comes in below format.

   http://servername/sites/sitename/_layouts/survedit.aspx?List=%7BC276BD0B%2D15BF%2D4E44%2D856C%2DBA2C9824B269%7D

3. Replace "suvedit" with "AddFieldFromTemplate". This takes you the page to add calculated columns.
