Frequently asked questions

How much money does the Minimum Vital Income provide in 2026?
The MVI amount varies depending on the composition of the household unit. For a single person: €470.82/month (2026). For two adults without children: €659.51/month. The amount increases with each dependent child. These amounts are updated annually based on the CPI.
Is the Minimum Vital Income compatible with working?
Yes, the MVI is compatible with work. There is a 'support for inclusion' supplement that allows you to combine MVI with income from work during 3 years (extendable). If you work and receive MVI, you must report your earnings to Social Security.
Can an self-employed person apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, self-employed individuals can apply for the MVI if their net earnings are below the access threshold. Income from economic activity declared in the previous year's tax return is included in the calculation.
Can a foreigner apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, foreigners with legal residency in Spain (with residence permit or work authorization) who have resided in the country for at least one year can apply.
What happens if my income increases after receiving the MVI?
You must notify Social Security of the change. If your earnings exceed the MVI threshold, the benefit will either terminate or reduce proportionally. Concealing it may lead to repayment of improperly received amounts and penalties.
