The Spanish Social Security Institution announced an increase in the amount of the Minimum Vital Income (IMV, in its Spanish acronym) this year 2022.

According to the table made public by Social Security, the income that IMV beneficiaries can expect for this year can range between 5,899.6 and 12,979.12 euros, depending on their family circumstances.

The Minimum Vital Income is a non-contributory Social Security benefit for those who do not reach what is considered a minimum income.

That is 0.5% more than the increase in contributory pensions (2.5%), which are linked to annual inflation.
