Frequently asked questions

How much does the Minimum Vital Income amount to in 2026?
The MVI amount varies according to the composition of the household unit. For one person: €470.82/month (2026). For two adults without children: €659.51/month. The amount increases with each child in the household unit. These amounts are updated annually based on inflation.
Is the Minimum Vital Income compatible with working?
Yes, the MVI is compatible with work. There’s an 'integration support supplement' that allows compatibility between MVI and earnings from work during 3 years (extendable). If you have a job and receive MVI, you must report your income to Social Security.
Can a self-employed person apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, self-employed individuals can apply for the MVI if their net earnings are below the access threshold. The calculation of income includes declared earnings from economic activity in the previous year’s tax return.
Can a foreigner apply for the Minimum Vital Income?
Yes, they can apply who have legal residence in Spain (with residency card or valid work authorization) and have resided in the country for at least one year.
What happens if my income increases after receiving the MVI?
You must notify Social Security of the change. If your income exceeds the MVI threshold, the allowance will either terminate or be reduced proportionally. Concealing it may lead to repayment of erroneously received amounts and penalties.
