The oxidation number of oxygen in most compounds is $-2$. This is because oxygen is highly electronegative and tends to gain electrons when forming compounds. However, there are exceptions, such as in peroxides where the oxidation number of oxygen is $-1$, and in compounds with fluorine, where the oxidation number of oxygen can be positive.
