Does this account for tax?

No, all figures shown are gross pay before any tax deductions. For net pay, consult a tax calculator specific to your country.

What is the difference between monthly and fortnightly pay?

Monthly pay is your annual salary divided by 12. Fortnightly (bi-weekly) pay is your annual salary divided by 26, since there are 26 fortnights in a year.

No — all figures shown are gross pay before any tax deductions. Tax depends on your country, residency, marginal bracket and deductions, which vary widely. For net (take-home) pay, use a dedicated tax calculator for your country.

Monthly = annual ÷ 12. Fortnightly (bi-weekly) = annual ÷ 26. Because there are 26 fortnights in a year (not 24), you receive three fortnightly pays in two of the months. Each monthly payment is slightly larger than two fortnightlies combined.
