Factory Profit Guide by Liandri
Factory Profits

Average Base Profit is if you buy all mats at their base price and sell the results at their base price.
Estimated Actual Profit assumes you buy mats at 25% less than base and sell them for 25% more than their base price.

All calculations are based off factories functioning at 100% efficiency. 
The numbers don't change a ton even if you upgrade them to 150%.
If you want to see those numbers anyway, you can find them here.

Don't trust my numbers?  Check them yourself.  Note that these figures are a BASELINE, and may not reflect actual pricing.  For example, it can generaly be assumed that TQuarks will be twice as profiable as Kats.  Of course, any of these things can changed by haulers and other factors.  The figures just give you an idea of how much more profitable a given comod is likely to be.
If you find any problems with the math, contact Liandri in-game.
