Pay your fees Clarification

Like many others, I find the "pay your fee's format a bit confusing... Just wanted to clarify so we don't over or underpay.

Info about us:
I'm a US citizen and my Common Law partner/Fiance is a Canadian Citizen by birth. We have been living together for over a year, and I was 22 when we moved in together (although I turned 23 four months later) and we have been dating for nearly 5 years now. I am 23 now, and will be 24 next month. Neither of us have dependents or children, its just him (the sponsor) and me (the applicant).

Sponsorship application: 75$
Principal applicant: 475$

So is it just $550?
or do I need to pay for this condition as well?

"Common-law partner of the principal applicant or, where a transitional provision applies, a family member of the principal applicant who is 22 years of age or older" 550$
I'm assuming the other few fees are inapplicable due to me being over 19.

Any info would be very helpful! Thank you for your time and help!

You can choose to pay only the first 2 upfront and wait for CIC to request the RPRF. However, not paying the RPRF upfront can delay your app when CIC needs to request it and wait for the payment, so it's advised to pay the full amount upfront.
