Trad publisher on marketing:
Ask for receipts on marketing.
Ask for print run.
Typically a standard print run is 3,000-5,000 copies and sell through is 6 weeks from day the book launches (available for sale). % of sales is how your value is calculated.

If you save $100 per week for your novel - you will save $2,600 in 6 months.
If you need $6,400 likely up front and marketing costs, this means 1 year and 3 months @$100 per week.
If you need $3,400 for a 5,000 copy print run it is roughly 9 months.
