Frequently asked questions

How much money does the Minimum Income Guarantee give in 2026?
The amount of MIG varies depending on the 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. These amounts are updated annually based on the CPI.
Is the Minimum Income Guarantee compatible with working?
Yes, MIG is compatible with work. There’s a 'support for inclusion' supplement that allows you to combine MIG with income from employment during 3 years (renewable). If you work and receive MIG, you must report your earnings to Social Security.
Can an entrepreneur apply for the Minimum Income Guarantee?
Yes, entrepreneurs can apply for MIG if their net earnings are below the access threshold. Earnings from economic activity declared in the previous year’s tax return are included in this calculation.
Can a foreigner apply for the Minimum Income Guarantee?
Yes, they may apply who have legal residency in Spain (with residence card or work authorization) and have resided in the country for at least one year.
What happens if my income increases after receiving MIG?
You must inform Social Security of the change. If your income exceeds the MIG threshold, the benefit will be reduced or cease proportionally. Concealing it can lead to repayment of overpaid amounts and sanctions.
