Frequently asked questions

How much money does the Minimum Vital Income give in 2026?
The amount of MVI varies depending on the household unit composition. For a single person: €470.82 per month (2026). For two adults without children: €659.51 per month. The amount increases with each dependent child. These amounts are updated annually based on inflation.
Can the MVI be compatible with working?
Yes, the MVI is compatible with work. There's an 'Inclusion Support Supplement' that allows compatibility between MVI and income from work during 3 years (renewable). 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 MVI if their net earnings are below the access threshold. Income from economic activity declared in last year's tax return is included in the calculation of income.
Can a foreigner apply for the MVI?
Yes, foreigners with legal residence in Spain (with residency 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 the change. If your income exceeds the MVI threshold, the benefit will be reduced or terminated proportionally. Hiding it may lead to overpayment recovery and sanctions.
