Frequently asked questions

How much does the Minimum Vital Income give in 2026?
The amount of MVI varies according to the composition of the household unit. For a single person: €470,82 per month (2026). For two adults without children: €659,51 per month. The amount increases with each child in care. These amounts are updated annually based on the IPC.
Is MVI compatible with working?
Yes, MVI is compatible with work. There's an 'inclusion support supplement' that allows combining MVI with income from employment during 3 years (extensible). If you work and receive MVI, you must report your earnings to the Social Security.
Can a self-employed person apply for Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, self-employed people can apply for MVI if their net earnings are below the access threshold. Income from economic activity declared in the previous year is included in the calculation of earnings.
Can an foreigner apply for MVI?
Yes, foreigners with legal residency in Spain (with residence or work permit) who have resided in the country at least a year can apply.
What happens if my income increases after receiving MVI?
You must inform Social Security of the change. If your earnings exceed the MVI threshold, the benefit will terminate or reduce proportionally. Concealing this may lead to repayment of overpaid amounts and sanctions.
