    If you originally received the ESOP shares as a non-taxable event (which is likely), then when you withdraw it from your IRA the entire amount of the withdrawal is taxable - so to answer your question your tax is calculated using today's market value of the stock. You will also be hit with a 10% early withdrawal fee. This is not a good idea.
