Is this sentence correct?
There's a total of 3 ranks one can progress up to.
TIA!

It’s is understandable but the preposition is dangling (the “to” at the end), and therefore not considered traditionally grammatically correct.
Also, there’s no need to say “a total of”.
And, you should probably spell “3” in word form.
“One” makes sense but it’s a bit formal, so depending on your audience, you might want to say “you”.
Probably “through” rather than “up to”.
Something like: “There are three ranks”,
or “You can progress through three ranks”.
Really, “levels” sounds better than ranks.
So how about, “You can progress through three levels”?
I do want to point out that I’m feeling very self-conscious about my own use of grammar in this post now that I’m trying to help you with yours! I’m sure it’s not perfect…
Edited because I realized I originally wrote “participle” instead of “preposition”. You see, pobody’s nerfect!

"One can progress through a total of three ranks"
*you can't progress 'up to' a total. And best not to end sentence with a preposition

I’d even argue:
Is this a proper sentence?
