Complicated minimum payment due question

[SPOOGER]

If the credit card billing cycle closes on Jan 15th and a payment in made on jan 14 for the complete amount of the December bill plus an additional $5.
What will be the minimum balance due on jan 15 statement?

Will the $5 be considered a PAYMENT on the jan bill?
Or rather a reduction in the balance used to calculate the minimum amount due, but not a payment to satisfy the minimum payment. (Due to the fact it wasn't done after minimum amount due is calculated)

It doesn't count towards minimum payment of its not going to cover the closing balance.

So with a new credit card you can make a payment on you first month of use on the 14th and have to make a payment again after the 15th. Sounds odd.
Idon't think Amex did this to me, but chase is insisting it won't go towards the payment.
