before you raise the pot, they take into account the amount you would have to call so

Hero calls 4 (pot now 10$) and raises what is now the pot on top of that (so 10$ more to 14$)
some beef calls 14$
now villain raises the pot, so he calls the 14$ which makes the total pot now 2+4+14+14+14=48$. that means he can raises 48$ above the 14$ to 62$ total
