A simple majority is all is needed . This means 51 votes if all the senators vote . 50 votes will suffice if the vice-president will vote in favor of the bill. However, in order to shut down debate and bring a controversial bill to a vote, that, to end a filibuster, requires a 60% vote in favor or 60 votes if all the senators vote.
