Frequently asked questions

How much money does the Minimum Income Guarantee provide in 2026?
The MIG amount varies depending on the household unit composition. 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 MIG compatible with working?
Yes, the MIG is compatible with work. There's a 'support for inclusion' supplement that allows compatibility of MIG with earnings from work during 3 years (extendable). If you work and receive the MIG, you must report your income to Social Security.
Can a self-employed person apply for the Minimum Income Guarantee?
Yes, self-employed individuals can apply for the MIG 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 an immigrant apply for the MIG?
Yes, immigrants with legal residence in Spain (with residency or work permit) who have resided in the country at least one year can apply.
What happens if my income increases after receiving the MIG?
You must inform Social Security of any changes. If your income exceeds the MIG threshold, the benefit will cease or be reduced proportionally. Concealing it may lead to repayment of wrongly received amounts and penalties.
