A software project failure can be caused by an inappropriate and ineffective management approach in developing software. One of the failures of software projects that have the greatest capacity is the error in estimating financing and scheduling software. Representations of software financing calculations with good accuracy can be represented by the COCOMO II and Use Case Point (UCP) methods. The COCOMO II and UCP methods have a long steps calculation process with a lot of data collection, this obstacle is the main factor in the cost calculation process in the software and also, the lack of information about software cost calculation methods and techniques makes this section often overlooked by software developers. NAYA application developed by researchers has guided developers to write supporting data on the calculation components that have been provided. This application was developed with an iterative development model for implementation because application development requires feedback from the user as an improvement of specific functions by the system. The advantages NAYA application with COCOMO II in this application are simple data that must be prepared by the user, layout of calculations with minimum wages, and a comprehensive presentation of calculation results. Cost calculation with UCP has the advantage of implementing the Re-UCP method so that the components used are very comprehensive and complete so that it can remind UCP value and effort. NAYA applications can help software developers to calculate and arrange to finance for a software project quickly and accurately.
