Quick question, hard to explain

So I make minimum wage (7.40/hr) at my job, yes I know its incredibly shitty, exactly why I'm making this post. Anyways, does anyone know how to find out what a good amount of hours is to work per week to maximize what you make after taxes? I'm not sure how to word this very well and I'm trying to post this before I have to leave but basically what is the magic number of hours per week to work before taxes begin to make it not worth it, if that makes any sense? Where would the peak in the graph be? I live in Michigan and on average about 15-20 dollars is taken out of my check, but the more you max the more you're taxed obviously, I just want to find the most efficient number of hours per week.

Any help is appreciated.
 
clarifying, that means the point you speak of doesnt exist, unless were considering tax brackets. In which case prolly something like 400 hours a week lol
 
Damn that sucks that there's no way to calculate that out, I was pretty certain it would be possible. And I'm not mad about it, I just wanted to know. And you get to ride skis and get paid, I put shit on grocery shelves... not incredibly hard but I work to pay for gas and my phone so when I get scheduled 35 hours in a week when I really only need about 19 at most, it pisses me off... especially during my break. fuck that.
 
you will get a tax refund i think if you make over 25,000$ a year you need to fill out a few new papers, but at 7.40 you only need to file a w2 even if you work 40 hours a week for a whole year.
 
I like my job too, its just not worth spending that much time working for such little reward, especially when I'd rather be enjoying my time off from school..
