Frequently asked questions

How much money does the Minimum Vital Income give in 2026?
The amount of MVI varies depending on the composition of the household unit. 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 between MVI and income from employment during 3 years (extendable). If you work and receive MVI, you must inform Social Security of your earnings.
Can a self-employed person apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, self-employed individuals can apply for the MVI if their net income is below the access threshold. Income from economic activity declared in the previous year's tax return is included in the calculation.
Can a foreigner apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, they can apply if they have legal residence in Spain (with residency card or work permit) and have resided in the country for at least one year.
What happens if my income increases after receiving the MVI?
You must notify Social Security of any changes. If your income exceeds the MVI threshold, the benefit will terminate or be reduced proportionally. Hiding this can lead to repayment of overpaid amounts and penalties.
