The following mortgage rates dated as of March 7, 2101 were input into the mortgage calculator to calculate current monthly mortgage payments on a $200,000.00 home loan.  The monthly mortgage payment results returned from the mortgage payment calculator are for principal and interest only and do not include taxes and insurance.

Chase Bank Mortgage 30 year rate is 5.000% with 1.375 points and a 5.194% APR.  The monthly mortgage payment for a $200,000.00 home loan with this rate according to the mortgage payment calculator would be $1,073.64 per month.
