How do class bonus miles work for minimum distance flights

I was wondering how class bonuses work for minimum distance flights (ex. PDX - SEA). Is the bonus calculated before the minimum or after?

Is this understanding correct:
PDX - SEA
Minimum 500 miles X 1.75 (for first class) = 875 miles (that count towards status)?

Thanks in advance!

You are correct. 875 miles would count toward qualifying miles.
