Multiclassing spellcasters is the most complicated part. You determine your [[spells]] known/prepared (including cantrips) by looking at what spells you would know or prepare for each class with the Spellcasting feature. '''And you must use the spellcasting [[Ability Scores|ability]] ([[Charisma]], [[Intelligence]], [[Wisdom]]) for the class which gave you that spell.''' [https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/customization-options The D&D 5e multiclassing rules provide examples of how this works].

However to determine the number of spell SLTOS you must determine your spellcaster level, and then use the [https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/customization-options caster level table provided in the rules] (which is identical to the spell slot table for any full caster). So while a second level {{Class|sorcerer}} would only have three spell slots of 1st level, and a third level {{Class|paladin}} would only have three spell slots of 1st level, a sorc 2/paladin 3 does NOT have six spell slots of 1st level. This character's spellcaster level would be third. 2 spellcaster levels from sorc, and only 1 spellcaster level from paladin since paladins are "half-casters" (like rangers), so you divide the class level by two and then round down to determine the spellcaster level. This means the character would have three first level spell slots, and a second level spell slot. But they won't actually know any second level spells, meaning that the second level spell slot can only be used to upcast the first level spells that they actually know.

While the basic rules version of multiclassing don't cover [[Eldritch Knight]] {{Class|Fighter}} and [[Arcane Trickster]] {{Class|Rogue}}, they follow the same rules as {{Class|Paladin}}s and {{Class|rangers}} except that EK fighter and AT rogues are 1/3 casters. Meaning you need to divide their level by 3 and then round down to get their effective spellcaster level.
