Visa income thresholds & move-in cash quick checks

NLV threshold planner

Enter the number of people and the current monthly IPREM. The official formula is 400% of IPREM for the applicant plus 100% for each dependent. The €600 field is an editable planning assumption, not a promise that a consulate will accept a particular document.

Estimated threshold

Digital-nomad income planner

The DNV formula is tied to Spain’s SMI. The 2026 legal SMI is €17,094 annually (€1,221 in 14 payments); the applicant formula starts at 200% SMI, with dependent increments set by the current rule and official guidance.

Estimated DNV minimum

Move-in cash planner

Use the LAU mechanics, not a generic “two months deposit” slogan. For a habitual-home contract, model first rent + one-month fianza + any additional guarantee allowed by the contract and law.

Move-in rent/fianza estimate

Schengen day counter

For short-stay visitors, entry and exit days count, countries pool together, and the window rolls every day. A Spanish residence permit changes the right to remain in Spain but does not give unlimited visa-free residence in other Schengen states.

Use the official EU rules and record every entry/exit date. This site’s estimate is not a border decision.
