If you’ve traffic coming from tier 1 countries, you can earn some good CPCs which are usually around 30 cents and more. However, in some of the countries, the CTR is comparatively lower than others. Additionally, some countries will have a consistent CPC of 30 cents and above. If you run a SAS niche site then the average CPC for tier one traffic can go above $1. Here is a list of niche which drives the highest CPC. The image below is a consolidated data from one of my education blog which has majority of its traffic coming from India.
AdSense CPC Rates for Tier 2 Countries
The CPC rates of tier 2 traffic vary a lot and depend on the niche of the website, the conversion rate, and the quality of the traffic. The CPCs are usually in the range of 5 cents to 15 cents. This can increase or decrease depending upon the niche and content of the website.
AdSense CPC Rates for Tier 3 Countries
Tier 3 countries have the lowest CPC and usually range around 2 cents to 3 cents. This is due to less number of advertisers targeting the tier 3 countries or maybe because of the advertising ecosystem is still very new. Over the years we can expect the CPC for such geographies to rise as digital marketing continue to penetrate.

Ensure there are enough impressions and clicks to give you a clear idea of the average CPC. Also, the average cost per click varies depending on the ad format (display, in-article, in-feed, linked units, matched content, auto ads, etc.) SO we can only have some idea of the gross numbers.
