A gallium nitride-based epitaxial wafer for a nitride light-emitting device comprises a gallium nitride substrate having a primary surface, a gallium nitride-based semiconductor film provided on the primary surface, and, an active layer provided on the semiconductor film, the active layer having a quantum well structure. A normal line of the primary surface and a C-axis of the gallium nitride substrate form an off angle with each other. The off angle monotonically increases on the line that extends from one point to another point through a center point of the primary surface. The one point and the other point are on an edge of the primary surface, and indium contents of the well layer defined at n points on the line monotonically decrease in a direction from the one point to the other point. The thickness values of the well layer defined at the n points monotonically increase in the direction.
