Late Payment Penality with Extension

I did file for extension for year 2019 Taxes.

 

I did NOT owe any taxes Last year. Tax liability was $0.

 

This year amount owed is $500

 

 

Total tax liability is less than $1,000

Did not owe any taxes for the previous year.

 

There 3 issues

Late filing Penalty (does NOT apply to me as I filed for an extension)

Late Payment Penalty. Need to Clarify as amount owed is less than $1000

Interest (compounded daily)

 

When liability is less $1000, is it automatic that I will Not be charged Late Payment Penality or it depends ON IRS?

 

I did check online daily compounded interest rate (3% + Fed rate (0.25%) = 3.25%) for $500 for 90 days will be $4.

 

OR Should I mail, $500 + $4 (interest rate) + $7.5 (0.5% late payment penality, $2.5 for each month?

 

Or should I mail $500 + $4 (interest rate)  and wait for any letter which I may get for possible late payment Penality?
