Break-even is 60 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 42 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −15 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 2 silver10 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 17 silver10 copper at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -30.0% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Costs use each reagent’s lowest listed price; the estimate is the crafted item’s lowest listed price, times the items one craft makes, minus those reagents and Blizzard’s 5% sale cut.
