Is the word calendario the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "calendário" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are typically more open and the rhythm of the word is more melodic and "syllable-timed." In European Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often reduced or "swallowed," resulting in a more clipped and "stress-timed" pronunciation.
