Basically, imagine you're in a situation where they pay you for donating blood (like they used to, before blood became less useful and paying for blood mostly only became a thing for major plasma donation locations).

How much money would they need to offer to pay before you're willing to give up 5 minutes of your time and a pint of your blood?

Jesus fucking christ you people are just willfully bad at hypotheticals.

You did kind of overcomplicate the question by reducing it to hourly pay versus straight monetary value. And you kind of rendered the question harder for some people to answer by not establishing exactly how much blood was being taken (though I personally assumed you just mean the usual amount, which is about one pint).

Then, of course, there are other complications. Like, do they offer reassurances that your blood won't be tested for anything other than diseases that might complicate transfusion, or do they leave the door open for the government to take a sample and use it to DNA type you for future criminal purposes? These are concerns some people would absolutely have in that scenario.
