Frequently asked questions

How much money does the Minimum Vital Income provide in 2026?
The amount of MVI varies according to the composition of the household unit. For one person: €470.82 per month (2026). For two adults without children: €659.51 per month. The amount increases with each child in the household unit. These amounts are updated annually based on the CPI.
Is the Minimum Vital Income compatible with working?
Yes, MVI is compatible with work. There’s a 'support for inclusion' supplement that allows combining MVI with income from employment during 3 years (extendable). If you earn and receive MVI, you must inform Social Security of your earnings.
Can self-employed individuals apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, self-employed people can apply for MVI if their net income is below the access threshold. Income from economic activity declared in last year’s tax return is included in the calculation of earnings.
Can foreigners apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, foreign nationals with legal residence in Spain (with residency or work permit) who have lived in the country at least a year can apply.
What happens if my income increases after receiving MVI?
You must inform Social Security of any changes. If earnings exceed the MVI threshold, the allowance will be reduced proportionally or cease entirely. Concealing it may lead to repayment of overpaid amounts and penalties.
