1st rule-max no.of electrons in each shell is determined by the formula 2nsquare(n=no of shells)
eg-k shell-2*1*1=2
L shell-2*2*2=8
M shell-18
n shell-32
2nd rule-outermost shell cannot have more than 8 electrons

the formula is 2(n*n) square of n. where n is the orbit or energy level index.
the 1st shell, will have thse no. of shells-- 2 (1*1) = 2
the next- 2 (2*2) = 8
and so on........
3rd shell= 18 electrons
4th shell = 32 shells

i think you mean what is the rule to calculate the number of electrons?? im not sure, but i found 2 excellent resources for you:

http://education.jlab.org/qa/pen_number.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_mass

"For any element:

Number of Protons = Atomic Number

Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number

Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number"

i think one of these two will undoubtedly answer your question
