Free Trade Agreements generate a surprisingly small amount of revenue. What they do is earn both parties a commission of sorts on all trade between your empires. You can see the value of all trade between yourself and other empires (I think this number is for the past 12 months rolling?) in the diplomacy screen just to the right of each empire's name. The moment you enter a free trade agreement, you also earn 1% of that as income, and this quickly rises to a cap of 20%. Even then, if you're only trading 10k a year with the empire you have a Free Trade Agreement with, you'll only earn 2k. The most I recall ever trading with one empire was about 60k, which still only earned me 12k, which was chump change to me by that point. IMO, the income from Free Trade Agreements could do with a little bump.
