Potassium permanganate is a salt. The K has a charge of 1+ and the MnO4 has a total charge of 1-.*
Now oxygen normally has an oxidation number of 2-, and if the overall charge of MnO4 is 1- that would make the oxidation number of the Manganese 7+. Think 7+(4*-2) =-1*
See this page for more help as my explanation was terrible. *
