Break-even is 36 gold88 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 45 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 34 gold59 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 2 silver25 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 34 gold61 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -98.8% return on the gold you put into reagents.
