How much money does the Minimum Vital Income provide in 2026?
The MVI amount varies according to household composition. For a single person: 470,82€/month (2026). For two adults without children: 659,51€/month. The amount increases with each child in the household unit. These amounts are updated annually based on inflation.
Can the MVI be compatible with working?
Yes, the MVI is compatible with employment. There's a 'Support to Inclusion' supplement that allows for up to 3 years (extendable) of MVI alongside work income. If you work and receive the MVI, you must report your earnings to Social Security.
Can self-employed individuals 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 earnings from the previous year's tax return.
Can foreigners apply for the MVI?
Yes, they can apply if residing legally in Spain (with residence card or work authorization) with at least a one-year residency period.
What happens if my income increases after receiving the Minimum Vital Income?
You must inform Social Security of any changes. If your income exceeds the MVI threshold, the benefit may cease or be reduced proportionally. Concealing this can lead to repayment of misappropriated funds and penalties.
