The development of computational technology has provided convenience in structural planning to calculate earthquake loads acting on structures. This study aims to compare the results of the equivalent static earthquake load calculation using the existing methods in SAP 2000, with manual calculations based on SNI 1726 2019. This study will compare the base shear and story shear in a five-story building with a symmetrical building configuration and located in the city of Padang. The results of the comparison of the base shear using the SNI 2716 2019 method and the user load method produced the same value, namely 2441,707 kN, while the user coefficient method and the ASCE 7-16 method had a difference of 2.02% and 2.11% base shear values. For story shear calculations, the SNI 1726 2019 method with the user load method produces almost the same value with a difference of 0.002 to 0.004%. However, for story shear, the user coefficient method and ASCE 7-16 provide differences for the 5th floor, namely 7.25 and 5.94%, while for the 1st floor to the 4th floor the difference is only 3.67% to 2.70%.
