Improving the quality of small and medium industries in the automotive sector needs to be carried out in order to support the government’s programs that wanted Indonesia’s automotive industry on the top rank in ASEAN. Good design is one of the keys of success for improving the product quality, one of which is shaft. Various software has been developed to assist the design process, but the price of the software is not economical for small and medium industries. Therefore, we need an affordable software which can help shaft design process for small and medium industries. The software will be written in Visual Basic and the calculation will be carried out using empirical equation. The test results show that the software that has been created has a maximum error value of 0,94% from the value obtained by hand calculations and 3,49% from the value obtained using finite element methode. Therefore, it can be concluded that this software is good enough to be used by small and medium industries.
