Frequently asked questions

How much money does the Basic Minimum Income provide in 2026?
The amount of BMI varies depending on the composition of the household unit. For a single person: €470.82 per month (2026). For two adults without children: €659.51 per month. The amount increases with each child in the household unit. These amounts are updated annually according to the IPC.
Is the Basic Minimum Income compatible with working?
Yes, the BMI is compatible with work. There’s a 'support for inclusion' supplement that allows compatibility of BMI with income from work during 3 years (extendable). If you work and receive BMI, you must report your earnings to Social Security.
Can self-employed people apply for the Basic Minimum Income?
Yes, self-employed individuals can apply for the BMI 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 foreigners apply for the Basic Minimum Income?
Yes, those with legal residency in Spain (with residence permit or work authorization) who have resided in the country for at least a year can apply.
What happens if my income increases after receiving the BMI?
You must inform Social Security of the change. If your income exceeds the BMI threshold, the benefit will terminate or be reduced proportionally. Concealing it may lead to repayment of amounts wrongly received and penalties.
