Profit for Mining can be measured the way you calculate if you figure your time as free, I don't but sure.

Profit for Crafting should count the cost of materials as if you had bought them at the market board. This will let you know when it is better to sell your materials or craft. Spending your time crafting items that are worth less then you could of sold the materials for is just silly. It is ok to be silly, as long as it is intended.
