In the U.S. Senate, 51 votes are needed to pass a bill on the floor. A bill can also pass on a tie vote (50 - 50 or otherwise), as the Vice President will then cast a vote to break the tie. A bill cannot even reach the floor for a vote, however, if it is the subject of a filibuster unless there are 60 votes for cloture (which will allow a floor vote on the bill). In the U.S. House, 218 votes are needed to pass a bill on the floor.

If you are properly using the word committee, the answer is 50% plus one, or a simple majority. A committee does not make law. It discusses proposed laws called bills, works out the details, and with a majority vote moves the bill onto the "floor" for a vote of the whole chamber. If by committee you mean the actual full House of Representatives and the Senate, technically all you need there is a simple majority also. But there are complicating factors such as the filibuster in the Senate and various other rules that sometimes make this simple majority not enough for passage.
A two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and in the Senate is required to override a presidential veto.
