firecalc

A little help guys.
When I put my info into Firecalc and get the results why does the % on the top of the screen come back with different percentages?
How do I set it at 4% and get results based on that %.

Thanks,
JOE

If you want 4%, just mulitple your starting portfolio by 4% and enter that amount in the withdrawal box. Then you will get 4% on the results page.
