How can I calculate if my monthly ISA interest is correct?

Hi I have an ISA £79,767.34 with a rate that is now currently at 4.5%. Last months interest was £266.65. How can I calculate if that's correct? It doesn't seem correct as I have a Chase Saver with 25k in it and that earned £92.98. Considering that's only a third in the Chase Saver than the ISA, I don't get why the ISA is…

I know how crazy this is going to sound, but if you check out the key product information (and if you're feeling really adventurous, take a look at the T&Cs), you can find out about at least some of these undesirable features (transfers in earning a lower rate, bonus interest being held back until you've had the account for a year, etc) before you open the account and commit £80k of your money.
