In the planned ton-scale neutrinoless double beta [Formula: see text] decay experiments, the used [Formula: see text] value is the mass-energy difference between the ground states of mother and daughter atoms, without correcting the atomic energy difference due to the alteration in the nuclear charge before and after the decay process. We show that the atomic energy change between the two ground states can potentially reduce the [Formula: see text] value by 5.502, 12.103, and 12.372 keV for the decays from [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], respectively. The available kinetic energy for two electrons can be 2033.51 keV for [Formula: see text] decay, 2515.41 keV for [Formula: see text] decay, and 2445.45 keV for [Formula: see text] decay after correcting for atomic effects. This implies that the planned experiments could potentially miss the decay signature if a narrow energy window is designated to reduce background events including [Formula: see text] decay events.
