The mass of an electron is almost entirely negligible compared to the mass of an atom. I'm not sure if that's the question you were asking, but you can essentially ignore electron mass when calculating the mass of an atom; an electron's mass is only about 0.0005 amu, so even for the heaviest elements the total mass of the electrons is still a tiny fraction of an amu.
