Determine the oxidation number of each atom in the ion. For example, consider the hydroxide ion, which has an oxygen atom and a hydrogen atom. The oxidation number of oxygen is -2, and the oxidation number of hydrogen is +1. Add together the oxidation numbers of all the atoms in the polyatomic ion.
The valency of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in the outer shell if that number is four or less. Otherwise, the valency is equal to eight minus the number of electrons in the outer shell. Once you know the number of electrons, you can easily calculate the valency.
