In order to find the required sample size $n,$ you need a confidence level (such as $.95 = 95\%)$ and a margin
of error (such as $\pm .03 = \pm 3\%).$
So that an explicit answer to your question doesn't get lost in a
longer explanation of confidence intervals: No. There's no restriction that the confidence level
and the margin of error must add to $1.$
The calculator in the link also asks for a population size, but that
is not important unless you're thinking you might sample more than 10%
of the population. So if this is for a nationwide poll in a large
country with millions of eligible subjects, you can ignore that
part. (If you're using the calculator in the link, you'd enter
something like $10\,000\,000).$
The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval from a poll is
$\pm 1.96\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}},$ where $n$ is the sample size
and $p$ is the true population proportion with the relevant attribute
(such as favoring Proposition A on in an upcoming election).
The margin of error is the proportion (percentage in your link)
that determines the width of your confidence interval. Maybe you'd
like to say that the true proportion is $0.55 \pm 0.03$ or $55\% \pm 3\%.$
Then $E = .03 = 3\%.$
Not knowing $p,$ you could either guess what $p$ might be,
or take the worst case, which is $p = 1/2$ (giving the largest possible
margin of error). Then for a 95% confidence interval (CI), you'd have
a CI of the form $\hat p \pm E.$ So $E=1.96\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}.$
If you're taking $p = 1/2,$ then you have $E = 1.96\sqrt{.25/n} \approx 1/\sqrt{n}.$
So, if $E = 3\%,$ then $n \approx 1/(.03^2) = 1111$ subjects.
Note: Here's why I say that $p = 1/2$ is the 'worst case', leading to the largest
margin of error. The factor $Q = p(1 - p)$ in the margin of error reaches its
maximum when $p = 1/2.$ So the margin of error $E$ is maximized when $p = 1/2$ and for a fixed value of $E$ that leads to the largest required $n.$
