Frequently asked questions

How much money does the Minimum Vital Income provide in 2026?
The amount of MVI varies according to the composition of the household unit. For one person: €470,82 per month (2026). For two adults without children: €659,51 per month. The amount increases with each child in the household unit. These amounts are updated annually based on the IPC.
Is the Minimum Vital Income compatible with working?
Yes, MVI is compatible with work. There’s an 'integration support supplement' that allows you to combine MVI with income from employment for 3 years (extendable). If you earn and receive MVI, you must inform Social Security of your earnings.
Can a self-employed person apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, self-employed individuals can apply for MVI if their net income is below the access threshold. The calculation of income includes declared economic activity revenues from the previous year's tax return.
Can an foreigner apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, foreigners with legal residence in Spain (with residency card or work authorization) who have resided in the country at least one year can apply.
What happens if my income increases after receiving MVI?
You must inform Social Security of the change. If your income exceeds the MVI threshold, the benefit will end or decrease proportionally. Hiding it may lead to repayment of improperly received amounts and penalties.
