To solve such problems, a salary calculation and practicum assistant’s performance assessment application is developed. This application can be used for manage practicum activity report, calculation and reporting honorarium, assess student’s activity transcript, and printing assistant’s certificate. Due to limited human resource and cost, not all universities can directly develop the required application. Therefore, this application is developed based on Software as a Service (SaaS). This application is developed by using structured analysis – design with Waterfall model. Identifying software requirements is done by surveyed to some different faculties in Telkom University. The result is a salary calculation and practicum assistant’s performance assessment application based on SaaS. Application is implemented in PHP programming. Testing is done by black box testing.
