      This paper presents the exact bound for the rate of convergence of Metropolis chains in a finite state space which improves the previous results about the rates of convergence of Metropolis algorithm due to \textit{K. L. Mengersen} and \textit{R. L. Tweedie} [Ann. Stat. 24, No. 1, 101-121 (1996; Zbl 0854.60065)] where only the upper bound of such convergence is obtained. The main result is proved by application of the properties of the transition probabilities and eigenvalues of Metropolis chains.
