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.

How many votes would you need for your bill to pass the House committee and Senate committee?
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.
