and takeoff

These are best-case numbers, you'll naturally want to add some margin on top of this.

(from http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/39812-Landing-and-Takeoff-Delta-V-vs-TWR-and-specific-impulse)

Edit: also note that by spending the delta-V to land, your TWR will increase by the time you get to the surface. For takeoff, "initial TWR" means your TWR after you're already on the ground. Also staging during the landing or the takeoff will change the numbers a bit, depending whether you're just dropping empty fuel tanks or also some engines.
