Anyone else tried the Armed Forces Benefits Calculator?

The U SoS Mr Twigg says...
Our Service personnel receive an excellent remuneration package which is fully deserved for the outstanding contributions they make in the UK and overseas. The new Armed Forces Benefits Calculator makes it easy for our troops to see the full worth of the benefits available to them
And DCDS(Pers) says...
The Armed Forces Benefits Calculator is an exciting and innovative project which I am confident will show all who use it just how competitive our remuneration package is
The right honorable Leon Jabachjabicz MP says...
I haven't seen propaganda like this since Lord Haw Haw and Comical Ali decided to run a current affairs news program!
It adds £2000 per annum for ELC even though it is only available for 3 years! £240 for dental treatment I never get (I haven't had a filling for over 15years!). The list is endless of overinflated benefits that I don't see in my monthly paypacket.
Unfortunately, Joe Public will not know any better and truly believe that a Sqn Ldr is on approx. £90k per year
