How can I calculate point of diminishing returns for overtime net pay?

Workers earn a base pay of $26.55 per hour for a 40 week. Some workers work as much overtime as they can get, others only work 10 of overtime or less. The reason has caused a debate over the point of diminishing returns for working over time due to the amount of taxes that is taken out of the pay check after 10 hour. Basically it seems that the ratio between net pay and hours worked starts to drop after 10 hours. This is due to tax brackets, and the tax brackets are based on the IRS formW4 exemtions claimed.

So how do I get the numbers for the tax brackets based on all combinations of exempts, so that I can make calculations for point of diminishing return? I want to be able to graph hours worked and net pay after taxes.

Gross pay is ease to figure
40 hours x 26.55 x 1.0= $1062 (no overtime gross)
45 hours x 26.55 x 1.5= $1792 (5 hours of overtime gross)

how do i apply the federal tax withholdings?

I am 20, male and I have been depressed for about 4 years. I was gonna take st john's wort, but was told by my psychiatrist that it's not really effective...so he suggested antidepressants. I also get quite extreme anxiety around people. I'm gonna talk to my doctor before I decide which one I'm gonna use but I'd like to hear what any of you think if you've had any experience with antidepressants . Which are the best?

The Big Rip: New Theory Ends Universe by Shredding Everything


Their answer is that the eventual, phenomenal pace would overwhelm the normal, trusted effects of gravity right down to the local level. Even the nuclear forces that bind things in the subatomic world will cease to be effective.

"The expansion becomes so fast that it literally rips apart all bound objects," Caldwell explained in a telephone interview. "It rips apart clusters of galaxies. It rips apart stars. It rips apart planets and solar systems. And it eventually rips apart all matter."

He calls it, as you might guess, the Big Rip.


ex. a car gaining 60 mph every second eventually it will go so fast that all the parts of the car willl rip or break


so let me get this str8 a billion years from now the universe will juss rip and kill us?

I mean many of the questions are getting repeated over and over like a song from Thriller back in the 80's. I have just viewed about 10 questions and said This is ridiculous. I answer these questions and get thumbs up and down from people not based on my answers but based on whether or not they are Christian,atheist,agnostic,Buddhist, Muslim or any of the other religions out there. Im so sick of this section. Any way of giving my points to someone Im just tired of this. Peace out.................

i dont understand why some white people wanna call blacks and eachother the n word just because they hear black people saying it. whites said that word in the past to put down black people and show their "power" over them. many black people died and many white people got beat up so that all americans can be treated equally and not 2nd class citizens. black people can call eachother the n word because they are black and its nothing out of hate and they generally know what they go through. why is it that some white people feel that its ok that they hear blacks call eachother that they can say it? white people were never enslaved and then made 2nd class citizens and had to go through the struggle blacks went through here in america. peace
