Still 6.2% for both employer & employee.

Actually, that 6.2% is just for the social security tax portion of FICA. FICA consists of social security and medicare. The total FICA tax is 7.65%, which includes the 1.45% medicare tax. There is currently a limit on the social security tax portion (6.2% of $106,800--which is $6,621.60), while there is no medicare limitation.

No, FICA taxes are not taken out of traditional 401(k) contributions.

However, when you withdraw from your 401(k) in retirement, those distributions are subject to income tax, but not FICA taxes.
