<prompt> Human: Currently I am working 32-48 hours of overtime a week. Im wondering how many hours I can work before I am taxed and working overtime at basicly straight time. On overtime I currently make 45.50 an hour and seventh day is double time. Thanks  <response>: That isnt how taxes work. You will never make less money working overtime than if you werent. If you wnat more money, keep working overtime. While its true the money you earn over certain thresholds is taxed at a higher rate than the money below it, only those dollars are taxed at that rate, it doesnt matter if the money comes from working overtime or your regular salary.
