Frequently asked questions

How much money does the Minimum Vital Income give in 2026?
The MVI amount varies depending on household composition. For a single person: €470.82 per month (2026). For two adults without children: €659.51 per month. The amount increases with each child under care. These amounts are updated annually based on the CPI.
Is the MVI compatible with working?
Yes, the MVI is compatible with work. There exists the 'support for inclusion supplement' that allows combining MVI with income from employment during 3 years (extendable). If you work and receive MVI, you must report your earnings to Social Security.
Can a self-employed person apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, self-employed individuals can apply if their net earnings are below the access threshold. The calculation of income includes declared economic activity revenues from the previous year's tax return.
Can an immigrant apply for the MVI?
Yes, immigrants with legal residency in Spain (with residence card or work permit) 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 inform Social Security of any changes. If your earnings exceed the MVI threshold, the benefit will cease or be reduced proportionally. Hiding this may lead to repayment of incorrectly received amounts and penalties.
