I think you're not taking a lot of things into consideration, for example you're going to have hosting costs, affiliate payouts, CCBill alone will take up to 16% off the top for processing, design, templates, the money it costs to produce more content, etc. I am not sure what kind of contract you have in place with her, but I am sure if you say "I'll pay you 50%" in the contract, and then later you tell her "That was after expenses" she will think you're trying to fuck her over and get pissed and quit, or take you to court and try to get 50% off the top if shes smart, or both.

And you're not even sure what shes willing to do?

There are a lot of ways to keep your models happy without paying them INSANE amounts of money. And $15k upfront and 50% is totally stupid. Whos to say you don't pay her $15k and she shoots a dozen sets then skips town?
