Percentage bar on airline pilot central

Hello everyone. I was recently researching different airlines on Airline Pilot Central. Then I came across the pay scale calculator for American Airlines. The percentage bar on the bottom was set at 1. Is it supposed to be set at 1 or something else?

Honestly, I have no idea why that is there. Just leave it at “1” as that is giving accurate numbers.

I’ve always used the percentage bar to see what my take home would be after taxes. It’s not very accurate obviously. It’s a confusing feature.

Ok thanks. That helps a lot.

Someone said it can be used to calculate future pay raises? So it in the notes it says 3% pay raise in 2019 you could plug in 1.03% to see what it would be.

That makes sense. Seems like a rather useless feature to me.

Oh that makes sense. Thank you!
