By default Wordpress assigns the permission 755 and in its documentation the recommendation is that you do not need to change the settings it assigns as default.
What You need to worry about is that you should leave the default 644 to the wp-config.php or if you prefer a more guaranteed security you can leave in the 600 (test to see if it will not give any problem in its installation).
Also leave 644 for the .htacess or 604 (some plugins may need at least 644.
Another important point is not to leave permissions 777 as it leaves fully writable, where it can be a port for hackers and malicious files.
