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 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 inflation.
Is the Minimum Vital Income compatible with working?
Yes, MVI is compatible with work. There's a 'support for inclusion' supplement that allows you to combine MVI with work income during 3 years (extendable). If you have an income and receive MVI, you must inform Social Security.
Can a self-employed person apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, self-employed people can apply for MVI if their net earnings are below the access threshold. The calculation of income includes the declared economic activity income in the previous year's tax return.
Can an immigrant apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, immigrants with legal residence in Spain (with a residence card or work and residence permit) who have resided in the country for at least one year can apply.
What happens if my income increases after receiving MVI?
You must inform Social Security of any changes. If your income exceeds the MVI threshold, the benefit may be reduced or terminated proportionally. Concealing it could lead to the repayment of incorrectly received amounts and penalties.
