Frequently asked questions

How much does the Minimum Income Guarantee pay in 2026?
The amount of MIG 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 with inflation.
Is the Minimum Income Guarantee compatible with working?
Yes, MIG is compatible with work. There is an 'integration support complement' that allows you to combine MIG with earnings from employment for 3 years (extendable). If you work and receive MIG, you must inform Social Security of your income.
Can a self-employed person apply for the Minimum Income Guarantee?
Yes, self-employed individuals can apply for MIG if their net earnings are below the access threshold. The calculation of earnings includes declared economic activity revenues from the previous year's tax return.
Can an immigrant apply for the Minimum Income Guarantee?
Yes, immigrants with legal residence in Spain (with a residency card or valid work permit) who have lived in the country for at least one year can apply.
What happens if my income increases after receiving MIG?
You must inform Social Security of any changes. If earnings exceed the MIG threshold, the benefit is terminated or reduced proportionally. Concealing it may lead to repayment of wrongly received amounts and penalties.
