For its investments, the Fund seeks to identify high yield bonds of companies that have the ability to make timely payments of principal and interest. Using fundamental credit analysis of companies, the Fund seeks to invest in companies whose financial condition gives them greater value relative to other companies in the high yield market, providing the further potential for capital appreciation. Consequently, capital appreciation is a secondary objective of the Fund. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in high yield, high risk bonds, also known as 'junk' bonds. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' notice before changing this 80% policy.</p ><p > </p ><p > The Fund is non-diversified. </p ><p > The Advisor will actively manage the Fund to take advantage of relative values of various sectors of the high yield market in order to seek high current income and secondarily, capital appreciation. The Fund will buy and sell securities based on its overall objective of achieving the highest possible total return. </p ><p > The Fund also may invest in taxable municipal securities, asset-backed securities ('ABS'), including commercial mortgage-backed securities, and repurchase agreements. </p ><p > The Fund may invest in securities that represent interests in pools of mortgage loans or other assets assembled for sale to investors by various U.S. governmental agencies, government-related organizations and private issuers. These investments may include derivative securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations ('CMOs') and ABS. </p ><p > The Fund may also use a hedging technique that includes the purchase and sale of U.S. Treasury securities and related futures contracts for the purpose of managing the duration of the Fund. </p ><p > When a corporation issues a bond, it generally submits the security to one or more rating organizations, such as Moody's Investors Service ('Moody's') or Standard AND Poor's Ratings Services ('Standard AND Poor's'). These services evaluate the creditworthi-ness of the issuer and assign a rating, based on their evaluation of the issuer's ability to repay the bond. Bonds with ratings below Baa (Moody's) or BBB (Standard AND Poor's) are considered below investment grade and are commonly referred to as junk bonds. Some bonds are not rated at all. The Advisor determines the comparable rating quality of bonds that are not rated. </p></div>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. </p><p> <i>Non-Diversification Risk. </i> The Fund may invest more of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single bond may have greater impact on the Fund. </p><p> <i>Bond Market Risk. </i>The market prices of bonds held by the Fund may fall. </p><p> <i>Credit Risk.</i> The credit quality of fixed-income securities may deteriorate, which could lead to default or bankruptcy of the issuer where the issuer becomes unable to pay its obligations when due. </p><p> <i>Junk Bond Risk.</i> Investments in junk bonds can involve a substantial risk of loss. Junk bonds are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer's ability to pay interest and principal. These securities, which are rated below investment grade, have a higher risk of issuer default, are subject to greater price volatility than investment grade securities and may be illiquid. </p><p> <i>Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. </i>The value of investments in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities is subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. These securities are also subject to the risk that issuers will prepay the principal more quickly or more slowly than expected, which could cause the Fund to invest the proceeds in less attractive investments or increase the volatility of their prices. To the extent mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities held by the Fund are subordinated to other interests in the same mortgage or asset pool, the likelihood of the Fund receiving payments of principal or interest may be substantially limited. </p><p> <i>Mortgage-Backed Security Risk of Government-Sponsored Enterprises. </i> Debt and mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises ('GSEs') such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ('FNMA') and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ('FHLMC') are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Such securities are only supported by the credit of the GSE. The U.S. government recently provided financial support to FNMA and FHLMC, but there can be no assurance that it will support these or other GSEs in the future. Mortgage-backed securities also involve prepayment risk and extension risk. </p><p> <i>Management Risk. </i>The individual bonds in the Fund may not perform as expected, due to credit, political or other risks and/or the Fund's portfolio management practices may not achieve the desired result. </p><p> <i>Interest Rate Risk.</i> A change in interest rates may adversely affect the value of fixed-income securities. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities will generally fall. Longer-term securities are subject to greater interest rate risk. </p><p> <i>Defaulted Bonds Risk.</i> For bonds in default (rated 'D' by Standard AND Poor's or the equivalent by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization ('NRSRO')), there is a significant risk of not achieving full recovery. </p><p> <i>Unrated Security Risk. </i>Unrated securities may be less liquid than rated securities determined to be of comparable quality. When the Fund purchases unrated securities, it will depend on the Advisor's analysis of credit risk without the assessment of an NRSRO. </p><p> <i>Corporate and Taxable Municipal Bond Risk.</i> For corporate and taxable municipal bonds, there is credit risk in addition to the interest rate risk that affects all fixed-income securities. </p><p> <i>Collateralized Mortgage Obligation ('CMO') Risk. </i>There are risks associated with CMOs that relate to the risks of the underlying mortgage pass-through securities (i.e., an increase or decrease in prepayment rates, resulting from a decrease or increase in mortgage interest rates, will affect the yield, average life, and price of CMOs). </p><p> <i>Foreign Securities Risk.</i> Investing in foreign securities involves additional risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad. Other risks result from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject, and more volatile than U.S. markets. </p><p> <i>Foreign Currency Risk. </i>Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. When the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to a foreign currency, the U.S. dollar value of an investment denominated in that currency will typically fall. </p><p> <i>American Depositary Receipt Risk. </i>The risks of ADRs include many risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, such as individual country risk and liquidity risk. Unsponsored ADRs involve additional risks because U.S. reporting requirements do not apply and the issuing bank will recover shareholder distribution costs from movement of share prices and payment of dividends. </p><p> <i>Repurchase Agreement Risk. </i>A repurchase agreement exposes the Fund to the risk that the party that sells the security may default on its obligation to repurchase it. The Fund may lose money because it cannot sell the security at the agreed-upon time and price or the security loses value before it can be sold. </p><p> <i>Active Trading Strategy Risk.</i> The Fund employs an active style that seeks to position the Fund with securities that offer the greatest price appreciation while minimizing risk. This style can result in higher turnover (exceeding 100%), may translate to higher transaction costs and may increase your tax liability. </p><p> <i>Futures Contracts Risk. </i>The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying instrument. The price of futures can be highly volatile; using them could lower total return, and the potential loss from futures can exceed the Fund's initial investment in such contracts. </p><p> <i>Leverage Risk. </i>If leverage were employed, borrowing would magnify the potential for gain or loss on the Fund's portfolio securities and would increase the possibility of fluctuation in the Fund's net asset value. Interest costs might not be recovered by appreciation of the securities purchased. </p> </div>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

The return after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be higher than the return before taxes because the calculation assumes that shareholders receive a tax benefit for capital losses incurred on the sale of their shares. </p></div> falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringIf the Fund has annual returns for at least one calendar year, provide a table showing the Fund's (A) average annual total return; (B) average annual total return (after taxes on distributions); and (C) average annual total return (after taxes on distributions and redemption). A Money Market Fund should show only the returns described in clause (A) of the preceding sentence. All returns should be shown for 1-, 5-, and 10- calendar year periods ending on the date of the most recently completed calendar year (or for the life of the Fund, if shorter), but only for periods subsequent to the effective date of the Fund's registration statement. The table also shouldshow the returns of an appropriate broadbased securities market index as defined in Instruction 5 to Item 22(b)(7) for the same periods. A Fund that has been in existence for more than 10 years also may include returns for the life of the Fund. A Money Market Fund may provide the Fund's 7-day yield ending on the date of the most recent calendar year or disclose a toll-free (or collect) telephone number that investors can use to obtain the Fund's current 7-day yield. For a Fund (other than a Money Market Fund or a Fund described in General Instruction C.3.(d)(iii)), provide the information in the following table with the specified captions AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS (For the periods ended December 31, _____). For a Fund that provides annual total returns for only one calendar year or for a Fund that does not include the bar chart because it does not have annual returns for a full calendar year, modify, as appropriate, the narrative explanation required by paragraph (c)(2)(i) (e.g., by stating that the information gives some indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by comparing the Fund's performance with a broad measure of market performance).Reference 1: 1 -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 4 -Paragraph 2 -Subparagraph iv -Subsection b falsefalsePerformance Table Narrative97false0natruenanaNo definition available.falsetruefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsehttp://xbrl.sec.gov/rr/role/riskreturndetaildata1falsefalsefalse00falsefalsefalsefalsefalse6falsefalsetruefalse{dei_LegalEntityAxis} : S000027100 Member {rr_PerformanceMeasureAxis} : BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index Member 1/31/2011 - 1/31/2011 Duration_1_18_2011_To_1_18_201173http://www.sec.gov/CIK0000701039duration2011-01-31T00:00:002011-01-31T00:00:00falsefalseCALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUNDdei_LegalEntityAxisxbrldihttp://xbrl.org/2006/xbrldicik001380786_S000027100Memberdei_LegalEntityAxisexplicitMemberfalsefalseBofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Indexrr_PerformanceMeasureAxisxbrldihttp://xbrl.org/2006/xbrldicik001380786_MerrillLynchFixedRatePreferredSecuritiesIndexMemberrr_PerformanceMeasureAxisexplicitMemberUnit1Standardhttp://www.xbrl.org/2003/instancepurexbrli0OthernaNo definition available.No authoritative reference available.falsefalseCALVERT HIGH YIELD BOND FUND | BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index98true0rr_RiskReturnAbstractrrfalsenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse1falsefalsefalse00falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherxbrli:stringItemTypestringNo definition available.falsefalseRisk/Return:99false0rr_AverageAnnualReturnYear01rrfalsenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse1truetruetrue0.15190.1519falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherxbrli:pureItemTypepureReturn Before Taxes.Reference 1: 1 -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 4 -Paragraph 2 -Subparagraph iii -Clause 1 -Exhibit 2 -Subsection b falsefalse1 Year100false0rr_AverageAnnualReturnYear05rrfalsenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse1truetruetrue0.08820.0882falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherxbrli:pureItemTypepureReturn Before Taxes.Reference 1: 1 -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 4 -Paragraph 2 -Subparagraph iii -Clause 1 -Exhibit 2 -Subsection b falsefalse5 Years101false0rr_AverageAnnualReturnSinceInceptionrrfalsenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse1truetruetrue0.08660.0866falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherxbrli:pureItemTypepureReturn Before Taxes.Reference 1: 1 -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 4 -Paragraph 2 -Subparagraph iii -Clause 1 -Exhibit 2 -Subsection b falsefalseSince Inception102false0natruenanaNo definition available.falsetruefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsehttp://xbrl.sec.gov/rr/role/riskreturndetaildata1falsefalsefalse00falsefalsefalsefalsefalse7falsefalsetruefalse{dei_LegalEntityAxis} : S000027100 Member {rr_PerformanceMeasureAxis} : Lipper High Current Yield Funds Avg.
