Margaret Said:

Is a monthly premium of $113 for MPPI on a $937/mo mortgage reasonable?

We Answered:

If this is protecting your mortgate payment against layoffs or illness, then it's extremely high. You'd have to have a claim every 9 months to equal the mortgage premium. I've had mortgages continuously for over 30 years and have never had a claim.

If you're talking about PMI -- Private Mortgage Insurance, then it may be about right, depending upon the equity in your home and your credit rating.
