How this is calculated

The deadline is the statutory maximum in Oregon: On discharge, all wages earned and unpaid are due and payable within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays (ORS 652.140). If you quit without giving at least 48 hours' notice, all wages earned are due and payable within five days (ORS 652.140). If you gave at least 48 hours' notice, wages are due within 48 hours or by the next regular payday, whichever the employer chooses. The penalty estimate uses ORS 652.150: if wages are not paid when due, the employer owes penalty wages equal to eight hours' pay at the employee's regular rate for each day the wages remain unpaid, up to 30 days.

This is an estimate, not a legal determination. Penalty provisions usually depend on the employer acting wilfully, and a court or agency decides the final number. Use the result to decide whether to send a demand, not as a promise of what you will collect.
