That will be your monthly salary. Put up the matter to the agency in the following terms. "I will take a monthly salary of xxx dollars and this will entitle you to have free work for yyy words in a month. For monthly turnover exceeding yyy words, you will have to pay me at a rate of zz dollars per word."
