They do that here, but it's just called withholding.

"Withholding" encompaes all the deductions from a paycheck, including contributions to Social Security, the employees share of medical/dental insurance plans, retirement funds, possibly U.S. savings bonds and anything else you've signed up for and FICA. What's left is called "take home pay" in the USA.
I used to know what FICA. stood for but cannot recall. Tried the Dept. of Treasury website to no avail...anyone out there help me?
