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.
Can MVI be compatible with working?
Yes, MVI is compatible with work. There’s a 'support for inclusion complement' that allows you to combine MVI with income from work during 3 years (extensible). If you work and receive MVI, you must report your earnings to Social Security.
Can an independent worker apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, independent workers can apply for MVI if their net income is below the access threshold. The computation of income includes the declared economic activity revenues from the previous year’s tax return.
Can a foreigner apply for the MVI?
Yes, foreigners with legal residence in Spain (with residency card or valid work and residency 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 notify 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.
