If you had a semimonthly salary of 6800 how would you compute the Fica taxes
That would be withheld from your

The Medicare tax is same for all three checks: Multiply the gross salary by 1.45%, which is $98.60.
For the 9th check, for Social Security, multiply the gross salary by 6.2%, which is $421.60.
On the 14th check, the employee exceeds the $90K limit by $5,200, so, for the 14th check, you multiply $1,600 by 6.2%, which is $99.20.
On the 24th check, only Medicare is withheld.
