We describe a simple procedure to extract the parameters of the one-band Hubbard model from a set of {ital ab initio} calculations on a dimeric unit. The method applies to narrow band solids with negligible orbital relaxation. In this paper we consider a specific system, {kappa}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}Cu[N(CN){sub 2}]Br, but the proposed procedure is of general applicability. From a detailed discussion of the {ital ab initio} data, we extract a few general criteria of wide applicability about the relative magnitude of the empirical model parameters. We prove that the Hubbard model, including both on-site and inter-site electron-electron interactions, is a reliable model for systems with negligible orbital relaxation, apart from particular geometrical arrangements. The hopping parameter (t), as well as the intersite electronic repulsion (V), are barely affected by the chemical environment. On the contrary, the on-site energy and the on-site repulsion (the Hubbard h and U) show an appreciable dependence on the chemical environment, through a dependence of the frontier and core energies on the surrounding potential. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
