Abstract: In this paper, we quantify the non-linear effects from $k$-essence dark energy through an effective parameter $mu$ that encodes the additional contribution of a dark energy fluid or a modification of gravity to the Poisson equation. This is a first step toward quantifying non-linear effects of dark energy/modified gravity models in a more general approach. We compare our $N$-body simulation results from $k$-evolution with predictions from the linear Boltzmann code $extttCLASS$, and we show that for the $k$-essence model one can safely neglect the difference between the two potentials, $Phi-Psi$, and short wave corrections appearing as higher order terms in the Poisson equation, which allows us to use single parameter $mu$ for characterizing this model. We also show that for a large $k$-essence speed of sound the $extttCLASS$ results are sufficiently accurate, while for a low speed of sound non-linearities in matter and in the $k$-essence field are non-negligible. We propose a $anh$-based parameterisation for $mu$, motivated by the results for two cases with low ($c_s^2=10^{-7}$) and high ($c_s^2=10^{-4}$) speed of sound, to include the non-linear effects based on the simulation results. This parametric form of $mu$ can be used to improve Fisher forecasts or Newtonian $N$-body simulations for $k$-essence models.
