Frequently asked questions

How much money does the Minimum Vital Income give in 2026?
The amount of MVI 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 child in care. These amounts are updated annually based on the CPI.
Is the Minimum Vital Income compatible with working?
Yes, MVI is compatible with work. There is a 'support to inclusion' complement that allows you to combine MVI with earnings from employment for 3 years (extendable). If you work and receive MVI, you must report your income to Social Security.
Can a self-employed person apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, self-employed individuals can apply for MVI if their net earnings are below the access threshold. The calculation of earnings includes declared economic activity income from the previous year's tax return.
Can a foreigner apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, they can apply if they have legal residence in Spain (with residency card or work authorization) and have resided in the country at least one year.
What happens if my income increases after receiving the MVI?
You must inform Social Security of the change. If your earnings exceed the MVI threshold, the benefit is terminated or reduced proportionally. Concealing it may lead to repayment of improperly received amounts and penalties.
