Frequently asked questions

How much money does the Minimum Vital Income provide in 2026?
The amount of MVI varies based on household composition. For a single person: €470.82/month (2026). For two adults without children: €659.51/month. The amount increases with each child in the household. These amounts are updated annually based on inflation.
Is the Minimum Vital Income compatible with working?
Yes, the MVI is compatible with work. There is a 'support for inclusion' supplement that allows compatibility with MVI and earnings during up to 3 years (extendable). If you work and receive the MVI, you must report your income to Social Security.
Can a self-employed person apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, self-employed individuals can apply for the MVI if their net earnings are below the access threshold. The calculation of earnings includes declared economic activity revenues from the previous year's tax return.
Can a foreigner apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, foreigners with legal residency in Spain (with residence card or work authorization) who have resided in the country for at least one year can apply.
What happens if my income increases after receiving the MVI?
You must notify Social Security of any changes. If your earnings exceed the MVI threshold, the benefit will cease or be reduced proportionally. Concealing it may lead to repayment of incorrectly received funds and penalties.
