My wife has filed me for child support. Will the money that I put from my salary into a savings account every month be taken into account by the court when it calculates how much I should pay them?

Yes – because it is part of your overall income, and if it were not  it  would be regarded as part of your earning potential,which would lead to a similar result. So held the Supreme Court in Leave of Family Appeal Case  3432/09 in June 2009 where 500 NIS that the father funnelled from his salary into savings accounts were ,it said, correctly taken into account by the family court when it set child maintenance.
