Nine hundred sixty committed suicide, according to Josephus, however, we must remember that is including women, children and elders, not just warrior zealots. Note that the 960 number is only for the suicides. There were others who died there during skirmishes leading up to and during the siege.
Also, modern archaeological digs found far fewer remains than Josephus reported. Whether this is because the 960 is an inflated number or because many of the bodies were taken elsewhere for internment is unknown.

How many Romans attacked Masada?
One legion, the Tenth Fretensis, was the only legion that attacked Masada. A Roman legion, at full strength, was around 5,000 men. However the Romans had a habit of not replacing men in a legion once they were either killed or discharged, so the exact number of Romans that attacked Masada is presumed to be considerably less than the 5,000 limit as the Tenth was also active in the previous battles.
