I was about to write a long winded answer, but noticed that the link (attached) does offer everything you need to answer your question.

I's always equal 1. V's equal 5. X's equal 10. L's equal 50. C's equal 100. D's equal 500. M's equal 1000. if you want to go beyond 1000, just put a bar over the letters that you have. For example, CD with a bar over the top would be 4000. the bar means multiply by 1000. The number four is a little tricky sometimes, because sometimes you will see it as IIII or IV. If you put a smaller number in front of a larger number, you subtract them, like IX is 9 and CM would be 900. Hope this helps!

I = 1
V= 5
X=10
L=50
C=100
M=1000

If th smaller roman numeral is to the left of a large one = subtrtact, e.g, XL = 40

If it is to the right = add, eg, LX=60
