Frequently asked questions

How much money does the Minimum Vital Income give in 2026?
The MVI amount 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. 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’s a 'support for inclusion' complement that allows compatibility of the MVI with earnings from work during 3 years (extendable). If you work and receive the MVI, you must notify Social Security about your income.
Can a 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 last year’s tax return is included in the computation of earnings.
Can a foreigner apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, foreigners with legal residence in Spain (with residency or work permit) who have lived in the country for at least one year can apply.
What happens if my income increases after receiving the MVI?
You must inform Social Security about the change. If your earnings exceed the MVI threshold, the allowance will be reduced proportionally or cease. Hiding it may result in repayment of any wrongly claimed amounts and penalties.
