Under Fannie Mae Servicing Guide F-1-05 & CFPB TILA Reg Z, applying a $120,000 lump-sum principal recast to a $480,000 mortgage at 6.5% with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. reduces your required monthly P&I payment by $762.68/mo (from $3,050.70 to $2,288.02) and saves $149,988.72 in lifetime interest using M = P[r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n-1] over 354 remaining months.
How much does a $120,000 mortgage recast lower my monthly payment on a $480,000 loan at 6.5%?
Applying a $120,000 principal curtailment and formal re-amortization on a $480,000 balance at 6.5% over 354 remaining months lowers your required monthly P&I payment by $762.68/mo (dropping from $3,050.70 to $2,288.02) while saving $149,988.72 in cumulative interest.
What is the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. mortgage recast fee and minimum lump-sum requirement?
Under Fannie Mae Servicing Guide F-1-05, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. charges a $0 administrative recast fee with no credit check, no home appraisal, and no change to your 6.5% interest rate. Minimum lump-sum thresholds range from $5,000 (Chase, Bank of America, PennyMac, Citibank) to $10,000 or 10% UPB (Wells Fargo, Rocket Mortgage, Mr. Cooper, U.S. Bank).
Is it better to recast a mortgage or make extra principal payments without recasting?
Extra principal payments alone shorten your payoff date but leave your required monthly obligation unchanged at $3,050.70. A formal mortgage recast re-indexes the remaining principal (360,000 USD) across your remaining 354-month term, legally reducing your mandatory monthly payment to $2,288.02.

Don't Just Pay Extra Online: Lock In Your -$1,034.68/mo Lower Monthly Payment ($149,989 Total Interest Saved)
1. Avoid the Online Payment Mistake: Sending $120,000 through JPMorgan Chase's regular 'Extra Principal' button will NOT lower next month's required bill unless you open an official Recast Request first. 2. Lender Minimum Check: ELIGIBLE (JPMorgan Chase $5,000 Minimum Met • $0 Fee). 3. Early PMI Removal & Daily Interest Cost: Your lump sum brings your loan-to-value from 89.7% to 67.3% (20%+ equity), which lets you cancel monthly PMI at the same time for an extra +$272.00/mo in savings ($1,034.68/mo total relief). Every day your cash sits waiting costs about $21.37/day ($641.10/mo) in mortgage interest.
