A deduction taken out of payroll for something, reducing the income tax is applied to. Hence you get to pay that item with "pre tax" money...which is cheaper than after tax money.

Is FICA deduction before or after 401K deductions?

A deduction is made "pre-tax" if it avoids at least one form of taxation. Although contributions to "traditional" versions of 401(k) and 403(b) retirement plans, as well as 457 plans, are "pre-tax" deductions for purposes of Federal income tax, they ARE subject to FICA withholding. In contrast, Section 125 ("Cafeteria Plan") healthcare premiums are deducted before FICA liability is calculated.
