I wish you the best of luck with your music and your business, but I've got to question your thinking here.
Situation A: If this is small time (the artist is your client, no distributor), it would be easier to settle on an hourly wage and just leave it at that. If the studio is yours, you could set a price on studio time, too. If the song becomes a hit and the artist gets signed, he'll remember you, and for your next collaboration see..
Situation B: There's a label involved and the artist is supposed to pay you and your royalties as part of an all-in agreement with the label. What do you do? You hire a lawyer to look at that contract and give you advice. Maybe you don't need to draw up a separate contract yourself.
Just don't talk to a record label and a laywer in one day, that's too much to ask of anyone. And don't expect to make your money on the royalties - get paid for your time!

You cannot claim royalties from your artiste unless you're his publisher. And if you're the songwriter and have a publisher, they will take care of the royalties.
