Unit is correct. When reading a power supplies rated efficiency such as 80, 85.. whatever is not shown i.e 100-80=20% is what is lost in the conversion from wall power to make the power... So if your power supply can deliver 1000w @ 80%, then the power from the wall must be 20% greater to make up for loss.
