Stripe Connect Application Fee Discrepancy

So, I'm not sure if this is a coding error or a misunderstanding of the Stripe Connect process on my part, but I'm trying to make a charge using the Stripe .NET wrapper. My code is below:

C#

int chargeAmount = 2014;
int appFee = 1986;

var stripeChargeOption = new StripeChargeCreateOptions()
                            {
                                AmountInCents = chargeAmount,
                                Currency = "cad",
                                Card = stripeToken.Id,
                                Description = "Your Purchase with Coupons4Giving - " + info.Merchant.Name,
                                ApplicationFeeInCents = appFee
                            };
                            var response = stripeService.Create(stripeChargeOption);

The problem is when I go and look at what's actually gone through, the values differ from what I specify in this call. On Stripe's side, it shows the Application Fee as being $19.26 (which is $20.14 minus Stripe's fee of 2.9% + $0.30).

Can anyone tell me why my Application Fee is $20.14 instead of the $19.86 I've attempted to specify?

Thanks!

Your question should be asked in the forums here[^]. It's very unlikely that you're going to find anyone here who has used that library.

But, it seems obvious to me that you set a variable called chargeAmount as an integer 2014, then passed it to some parameter that your library expects, AmountInCents. Sooooo.... again. You're probably not going to find anyone here who knows that library.

Okay, well just in case anyone else comes across this thread and can be helped by it, Stripe takes the Application Fee out of the total Charge. My mistake was thinking that it added the fee to the charge, thus a $2 charge with a $2.25 fee won't work (the fee gets dropped to $2, as that's the most it can be).
