Simple, Powerful, Reliable Umbrella Payroll Software

We have two types of umbrella payroll product, the first integrates seamlessly with Sage software and utilises our Umbrella Payroll Features to save Umbrella Payroll Companies time and money. The other works slightly different and uses short steps for users to extract the information needed in order for us to run the necessary umbrella calculations before supplying the information to import and create umbrella payslips.


If you want to look into umbrella calculations then we have created an Umbrella Payroll Calculator. Our calculator allows you to input worker pay details and see a payslip detailing all costs involved and the end net pay result.

Sage didn’t offer the software we required so we approached Forest to see if they could meet our needs. We have been using the software created by Forest for 2 years and we’ve not looked back. Customer service is always extremely good with any issues being dealt with immediately. We would highly recommend this company and look forward to doing more work with them in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does your software link to another payroll provider other than Sage?

Currently all the software packages that our products link to are mentioned above however if there is a payroll product that you use and would like to continue using for umbrella processing, please do let us know as we may be able to integrate our generic product with this.

Does your Umbrella Payroll Software allow for offsetting expenses against taxable pay?

Yes, our Umbrella Payroll Software does although this isn’t requested very often anymore.

Are there any hidden costs with your software?

The pricing matrix is mentioned above, the only additional pricing would be the installation cost which is a one-off fee. You will need to purchase the third-party payroll product i.e. Sage etc. separately to ourselves and also the textmarketer bundle but this is only if you want to send text messages to your workers.

Are we able to amend the payslip?

We tend to charge for payslip amends however if you let us know what you would like amended and we can produce it easily then we would not charge for it.

Are you able to retain holiday for workers?

Yes, you can retain holiday pay.

Can we password protect payslip emails?

We are able to password protect the pdf payslip within the emails using information held within the Forest software.
