The exact algebraic solution recently obtained by Guo, Wu, and Van Woerkom (Phys. Rev. A 73 (2006) 023419) made possible accurate calculations of quasienergies of a driven two-level atom with an arbitrary original energy spacing and laser intensity. Due to the complication of the analytic solutions that involves an infinite number of infinite determinants, many mathematical difficulties must be overcome to obtain precise values of quasienergies. In this paper, with a further developed algebraic method, we show how to solve the computational problem completely and results are presented in a data table. With this table, one can easily obtain all quasienergies of a driven two-level atom with an arbitrary original energy spacing and arbitrary intensity and frequency of the driving laser. The numerical solution technique developed here can be applied to the calculation of Freeman resonances in photoelectron energy spectra. As an example for applications, we show how to use the data table to calculate the peak laser intensity at which a Freeman resonance occurs in the transition between the ground Xe 5p P{sub 3/2} state and the Rydberg state Xe 8p P{sub 3/2}.
