It is the tax that funds Medicare (1.45% by the payee) and Social Security (6.2% by the payee) - the medicare portion is paid on all income, whereas the social security piece is only paid until you reach the contribution limit, currently 102k, which is set by congress. The amounts contributed are paid equally by you and your employer, so the actual tax is twice the amount quoted above.
