I would say that in Finland the starting salary for a just graduated software developer (eg. Bachelor of Engineering) would be around 2400e/month.

I'm getting 3250e/month and after taxes I'm left with appr. 2100 euros and I pay 820e rent for 3 rooms/sauna/kitchen/balcony flat. IMO that is quite a decent salary, at least with my 6+ years of experience.

Many monks have already pointed out that the overall cost of living and other benefits that you may be enjoying are very important factors so don't rely on the salary alone.
