Is that graphic from the Navy website? I haven't seen it before, looks cool.
I think there's some caveat to the education, and I generally don't count medical stuff as compensation because it's not cash in my bank account so I conceptualize it differently. Otherwise, that feels pretty accurate, depending on where you're pulling in BAH from. I'm a collegiate right now making E-4 and these calculators are accurate to what I'm making, so I trust that the jump to O-1 will be accurate as well.

For O-1 pay, this seems to good to be true

A lot of this is dependent on your BAH location. More expensive housing markets are going to give you higher housing allowances but you will most likely be paying more in rent/mortgage. As someone else pointed out, the medical portion is not straight cash in your pocket but the equivalent cost of your healthcare covered by the DoD. Still a great deal but we will be expected to earn every penny of it!
