The Fermi level is the energy below which is completely filled with electrons at temperature 0K and above which is completely empty at the same temperature. Above 0K, the distribution function broaden such that the states above the Fermi level starts to be filled partially. It is described by the Fermi function. A short description is given in the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_level. If you want to study about how this is derived, you may want to look at another wikipage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi%E2%80%93Dirac_statistics.
