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 a single 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 IPC.
Is the Minimum Vital Income compatible with working?
Yes, the MVI is compatible with work. There's a 'support for inclusion' supplement that allows compatibility between the MVI and earnings from work over 3 years (renewable). If you work and receive MVI, you must report your income to Social Security.
Can an autonomous worker apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, autonomous workers can apply for the MVI if their net earnings are below the access threshold. The calculation of earnings includes the declared economic activity incomes from the previous year's tax return.
Can a foreigner apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, foreigners with legal residence in Spain (with residency or work permit) who have resided in the country for at least one year can apply.
What happens if my income increases after receiving the Minimum Vital Income?
You must notify Social Security of any changes. If your income exceeds the MVI threshold, the benefit will either cease or be reduced proportionally. Concealing this could lead to repayment of erroneously received amounts and penalties.
