OtherTaxes, benefits, and retirement contributions all come out before you see a dime. Federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), state taxes, health insurance, and 401(k) contributions can easily total 30–40% of your gross pay.
Your W-2 shows taxable wages — which are lower than your gross pay because pre-tax deductions (401k, HSA, health insurance) reduce them. Your paystub shows gross pay before those deductions.
OASDI is Social Security — 6.2% of every dollar you earn up to $168,600/year. It's one of the largest deductions on most paystubs, funding your future retirement and disability benefits.
