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 a single person: €470.82 per month (2026). For two adults without children: €659.51 per month. The amount increases with each child in care. These amounts are updated annually based on the IPC.
Is the Minimum Vital Income compatible with working?
Yes, the MVI is compatible with work. There is a 'support for integration' supplement that allows compatibility of MVI with income from employment during 3 years (renewable). If you are employed and receive MVI, you must report your earnings to Social Security.
Can an entrepreneur apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, entrepreneurs can apply for MVI if their net income is below the access threshold. Net income includes economic activity revenues declared in the previous year's tax return.
Can a foreigner apply for the MVI?
Yes, foreigners with legal residence in Spain (with residence or work permit) who have resided in the country for at least one year can apply.
What happens if my income increases after receiving the MVI?
You must inform Social Security of the change. If your income exceeds the MVI threshold, the allowance will be terminated or reduced proportionally. Hiding it may lead to return of improperly received amounts and penalties.
