Universal credit advanced payment question

Hi
Probably a daft question, but if I were to request an advanced payment on universal credit, how much would I get? I mean like would it only start subtracting a certain amount as part of a repayment plan or would it just completely take the amount off that you borrowed when you get paid?
hopefully made a bit of sense, totally new to this so its rather confusing

"No one can change the past. The only thing we can do is strive to make up for our mistakes. Why must we make up for our mistakes, you ask? Because in so doing...we can find the way back to our path. And once we've found our path we can move on from our past mistakes toward a brighter future"

This may help.

Do be careful with advance payments because the repayments can leave you considerably short in your UC payments until it's repaid.0
