Statistics for Sweden: http://www.lonestatistik.se/loner.asp/yrkeskategori/Data-IT-... (In Swedish, check "programmerare" for general programming jobs, "Webbutvecklare" for web devs)

Depending on skill/education, entry-mid level software jobs usually pay about 25000-30000 SEK/month (~4000 USD), before taxes. Larger companies may have agreements with unions on salary levels based on level of education/years of experience.

30k provides a pretty good quality of life, expect to take home ~23k after tax, depending on where you live you might pay ~7k in rent for a 2 bedroom apartment and ~3k on food.

Everyone speaks decent to good English and getting a job shouldn't be too hard, provided you have experience. The tricky part is dealing with the world-class bureaucracy of Skatteverket, the Swedish tax agency. Even for me, as an EU citizen, it was quite the paperwork mission.
