It will depend what operation you use to calculate your value.

First you check the uncertainty of your instruments.

Then

If you add or subtract two values, you add the uncertainty (even when you subtract)

If you multiply or divide, you do the following formula.

dZ=(dx/x+dy/y)*z

dz: uncertainty of your final value

z is your value

dx is the uncertainty of your first value

x is the value of you first value

similarly for y which is you second value
