Hello,  
I have been staking LPT for some months and now I want to unstake it. However, when I am going to do it, this message appears:  
 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/livepeer/original/1X/927be662e967458eda41bf8afd95815f3f4f2165.png)  
The number in “Projected Rewards (1Y)” box is much smaller than the one in the input box.  
So my questions are:

1. What is “Projected Rewards (1Y)”?
2. Are they asking me for money?
3. What is the number that is in “Projected Rewards (1Y)” box?

Thank you for your time.

The **Projected Rewards (1Y)** is an estimation of the amount of LPT you will earn over one year if you stake the amount of LPT you enter in the **Input** field.

The **Projected Opportunity Cost (1Y)** is an estimation of the amount of LPT you would earn over one year if you do not unstake the amount of LPT you enter in the **Input** field.
