How we work it out

Materials cost their market price on the Normal houses. Thread, vials, flux, dyes and other trade supplies cost their vendor price.
The item sells for its market price, times how many the recipe makes.
Only items with at least 3 listings, so one odd listing does not make a recipe look great.
The auction house keeps a cut of every sale and takes a deposit. These numbers leave both out.

Market price: a quarter of all units listed cost this or less. Updated every hour.
