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 care. These amounts are updated annually based on the IPC.
Is the MVI compatible with working?
Yes, the MVI is compatible with work. There is a 'support for inclusion' supplement that allows combining the MVI with income from employment during 3 years (extendable). If you work and receive the MVI, you must notify your earnings 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 income is below the access threshold. The calculation of income includes declared economic activity earnings from the previous year's tax return.
Can an immigrant apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, immigrants with legal residence in Spain (with a residence card or valid work permit) who have lived in the country for at least one year can apply.
What happens if my income increases after receiving the MVI?
You must inform Social Security of the change. If your income exceeds the MVI threshold, the benefit will be terminated or reduced proportionally. Concealing it may lead to repayment of improperly received amounts and penalties.
