The main figure inflates your current spending to what it will cost at retirement, then works out a lump sum that funds it for the years you set. The 4% rule figure is a well-known rough shortcut (some retirement researchers now argue for a somewhat lower withdrawal rate) -- both are estimates, not guarantees, especially over a 30-plus year retirement.
