An effective method, i.e., the solid atom method, is suggested to obtain the Coulomb interaction parameter, U, and the Hund exchange coupling constant, J, for use in the LDA+U calculation. The par~meters are obtained self-consistently during the LDA+U calculation. The method is applied to typical transition metal oxides and $MnB^{VI}(B^{VI}=S,Se,Te)$. The U values for the transition metal oxides have similar magnitude to previous calculations although they are obtained by a much simpler method. $MnB^{VI}s$ have been characterized as crossroads materials between charge transfer and band insulators by the LDA+U calculation.
