Return on investment ignores timing. Two projects can show the same ROI while one pays you back in a year and the other takes ten, which is why we usually look at IRR alongside it.

In plain English

Return on Investment explained simply

ROI answers one simple question: for every dollar I put in, how many dollars came back out?

For example

Spend $10,000 and get back $13,000. Your ROI is 30%, you earned $3,000 on top of what you spent.
