EXAMPLE: Class 3 business inside the City with gross income of $2,500,000

First $2,000 at $24.50 per thousand

 2 x $24.50 =  $49.00

Over $2,000 to One million at $2.00 per thousand ($1,000,000 - $2,000 = $998,000, or 998 thousands)

998 x $2.00 = $1,996.00 

One million to two million at 90% of $2.00

1,000 x $1.80 = $1,800

Two million to three million at 80% of $2.00

 500 x $1.60 = $800.00 

TOTAL

$4,645.00
