Click on the Costs notebook tab of the SystemStar Window.

Fill in 6000 for each of the fields. Each of these numbers is a cost for one person for one month for one of the COCOMO phases. You'll probably want to use the burdened cost (including benefits, etc.), not just the person's salary.

Notice that SystemStar automatically recalculates its estimates every time you change one of the inputs.

The Automatic Estimation panel now displays the costs as part of the estimate. Your software project is estimated to cost $54,000.
