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

Yes

The word "total" is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese in terms of meaning, spelling, and grammar. The only difference is the pronunciation of the final "l." In Brazilian Portuguese, the "l" is typically vocalized, sounding like a "u" (/toˈtaʊ/). In Continental Portuguese, the "l" is generally pronounced more distinctly as an alveolar or velarized "l" (/toˈtal/).
