This is only known exactly for the hydrogen-like atoms. Otherwise, it is done experimentally via photoelectron spectroscopy.
For hydrogen-like atoms, i.e.
H
,
He
+
,
Li
2
+
, etc., the energy levels are given by:
E
n
=

Z
2

13.61 eV
n
2
where
Z
is the atomic number and
n
is the quantum level.
So for
He
+
, the first excited state energy level would be the

configuration:
E

13.61 eV

=

13.61 eV
And its ground state energy would be:
E

=

13.61 eV

=

54.44 eV
So, its first excited state lies
40.83 eV
above its ground state. That matches the electronic energy level difference here from NIST:
