ADVANCE is a market-leading workforce management solutions provider, offering Umbrella, CIS, PEO, and Limited Company solutions.
We put transparency and compliance at the core of our work and provide trusted professional support for all contractors and agency partners, ensuring the highest service standards.
Our award-winning service goes beyond just handling your payroll, we support our employees, contractors, agency partners and MSPs (Managed Service Providers) with navigating the complexities of tax, national insurance, and any industry-specific deductions (which we know can be challenging) and employment law.
To help our workers plan their finances with confidence, we invite them to use our take-home pay calculator.
* The take-home pay estimate is calculated based on certain assumptions which can be found at the bottom of the calculator and must be viewed as an estimate only.
This illustration is based on the 2026/27 tax year parameters provided using a standard 1257L tax code. A standard 7.5hr day is used for day-to-hour conversions.
World-class service is our priority. Call us and speak directly with an expert every time—no automated menus, no robots, just immediate support from our team. It is these standards that won us the "Best Umbrella Customer Service Award 2025" at the Contracting Awards.
