Calvert was born in St Giles-without-Cripplegate, son of Felix Calvert and nephew of the MP John Calvert. He joined the East India Company in 1772 and worked as a merchant in the salt agency, becoming comptroller of the salt agency in 1788.
He returned to England in 1789. In 1791 William Pitt the Younger recommended him for the rotten borough of St Mawes. He served as MP for that constituency from 1792 to 1795.{{cite book | title=Parliamentary papers | year=1878 | volume=62, Part 2 | page = 188 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=L1ETAAAAYAAJ}}
