    Is there a better word or way of saying give or take to refer to the possibility of inaccuracy? For example,

    I will be arriving in 30 minutes, give or take 5 minutes.

    I want to indicate the possibility of arriving within five minutes of either side. So about or approximately are too vague.

    There isn’t a «better» way of saying it.

    In a more formal context you might say something more like «to within five minutes», and in a more «geeky» context you might say (or more likely write) «+/- 5 minutes».

    But for most purposes (in particular, speech) OP should just stick with «give or take».

    In a technical or scientific context, you can use «with a tolerance of».

    For example:

    The process is expected to complete in 30 minutes with a tolerance of
    5 minutes.

    «I will be arriving in 30 minutes, Plus or minus 5 minutes».
    «I will be arriving in 25 to 35 minutes».
    «I will be arriving within 5 minutes of 4:30».
    «I’ll be there about 4:30».

    Or simply: I’ll be there between 4:25 and 4:35.

    But if you are looking for a commonplace expression, «give or take» is it.

    How to use «Give and take» in context?

    When it comes to relationships, one key ingredient is give and take. When one person is giving, they are opening up and sharing their emotions, while when one person is taking, they are taking care of what they need and want. When done right, this balance creates a sense of symmetry andbalance in the relationship.

    On the other hand, when one person is taking too much and the other person is not getting what they need, the relationship can become unbalanced and tensions can build. It is important to watch for signs that someone is taking too much and needing to start giving more.
