Narrative:
After departing iah, we contacted departure stating that we were climbing through 3700 ft for 5000 ft. The controller told us to level at 4000 ft and asked who cleared us to 5000 ft. We leveled off at 4000 ft without exceeding the altitude by 100 ft. After review, we accidentally set 5000 ft instead of 4000 ft in the altitude pre-selector.
