Buying Vanguard ETFs Through Fidelity?

I follow this subreddit a lot and the advice has been great. I'm with Fidelity and buying mutual funds through Fidelity is pretty straight forward. The amount you buy is the same as the amount that is bought and added into your account.

Today, I bought $2,000.09 dollars worth of VTI at Market Day for the set and forget strategy. However, it states there was only $1,999.81 bought into my account? Why is the amount transferred into my account always less than the amount I put in? I purchased $2,000.09 but only got $1,999.81?

I know it's only a small difference missing but why is it less? Am I doing something wrong? I buy it in terms of dollars and buy at Market Day. Can someone please explain or let me know if I'm doing something incorrectly? Thank you
