How the amounts are worked out
The calculator uses the number of paydays in 6 months for each schedule (for a year: 52 weekly, 26 every two weeks, 24 twice a month or 12 monthly), dates them from your start date, and divides the target by that number. The three amounts are rounded up to the cent. The schedule splits the exact target across your paydays, so the deposits add up to it to the cent. No interest is added.
Keeping it
The plan only works if each deposit stays put until the end. Money in an account you can spend from tends to get spent, and every withdrawal pushes the date back.

Questions
How much do I need to save a week to have $5,000 in 6 months?
About $193 a week over 26 weeks. Every two weeks it's about $385, and every month about $834.
Is $5,000 in 6 months realistic?
It depends on what's left after your costs. If $834 a month is more than you have, the same calculator shows the amount for a longer span: change the months to 9 or 12.
Does the plan include interest?
No. The deposits add up to exactly $5,000 on their own.
