Does your employer pay FICA taxes?
Yes. The way it works in most cases is that you pay FICA taxes in the amount of 6.2% of your gross income and your employer also pays the same amount. Also you are required to pay 1.45% of your gross income for Medicare tax and your employer also matches that amount. So in total you are paying for half of these two taxes and your employer pays for half of the total taxes for these two taxes.

Are FICA taxes taken out of 401k contributions?
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.
