From most formal to least, I'd rank it:
5 Don't worry about it
2 It doesn't matter
4 Never mind
1 Whatever
I didn't include "That's okay" because it doesn't quite mean the same thing.
You could really use all but 'whatever' in a formal context. 'Whatever' can be offensive to some.

Whatever is rude. But the other phrases you use in different circumstances - 'I doesn't matter' when the other person has made a mistake or discomforted you; that's OK is really when agreeing with someone's proposal, or perhaps accepting an explanation. Never mind when consoling someone. Don't worry about it - when trying to put the other person at ease

I see. Thanks a lot. I'll follow your answer.

If it's a formal situation, like with a boss, someone older than you, or someone you must show respect to and not one between friends and family member, then you don't want to say whatever. The best answer would be #5 Don't worry about it, #2 It doesn't matter, and #4 Never mind.
