Frequently asked questions

How much money does the Minimum Vital Income give in 2026?
The amount of MVI varies depending on household composition. For a single person: €470,82 per month (2026). For two adults without children: €659,51 per month. The amount increases with each dependent child. These amounts are updated annually with the IPC.
Is the MVI compatible with working?
Yes, the MVI is compatible with work. There is a 'support to inclusion' supplement that allows you to combine MVI with earnings from employment for 3 years (renewable). If you are employed and receive MVI, you must report your income to Social Security.
Can an entrepreneur apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, entrepreneurs can apply for MVI if their net earnings are below the access threshold. Earnings from economic activity declared in the previous year's tax return are included in the calculation of income.
Can a foreigner apply for the MVI?
Yes, foreigners with legal residence in Spain (with residence card or work authorization) 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 report the change to Social Security. If your income exceeds the MVI threshold, the benefit will cease or reduce proportionally. Concealing it may lead to repayment of incorrectly received amounts and penalties.
