Universal credit and salary sacrifice

Does anyone here have salary sacrifices for example a car & claim UC as well? My car is on its way out so I’m looking at what options I have. I don’t have a deposit for a car & the APR on private dealerships makes the payments extortionate. My work do a salary sacrifice so it comes directly out your wage before tax/ NI. Is your UC based on net earnings? So if my earnings are less due to the car, would this affect my UC?
