A salary of SEK 459,500 is too little to live in Gothenburg with a whole family (assuming this is pre-tax).
The problem is also that Sweden has an increasing tax rate the more you make, so if you have a partner that is even just making minimum wage you will together make more than if you doubled your salary yourself.

Does 2700€ after taxes enough for 2 person family?
