Do similar matrices have same characteristic equations?

Since similar matrices have same eigenvalues and characteristic polynomials, then they must have the same characteristic equation, right?

          Suppose $A$ and $B$ are square matrices such that $A = P B P^{-1}$ for some invertible matrix $P$. Then
          begin{align*}text{charpoly}(A,t) & = det(A - tI)\
          & = det(PBP^{-1} - tI)\
          & = det(PBP^{-1}-tPP^{-1})\
          & = det(P(B-tI)P^{-1})\
          & = det(P)det(B - tI) det(P^{-1})\
          & = det(P)det(B - tI) frac{1}{det(P)}\
          & = det(B-tI)\
          & = text{charpoly}(B,t).
          end{align*}



          This shows that similar matrices have the same characteristic polynomial. Note that this proof relies on several facts. In particular, the determinant is multiplicative.

            Note that $det (lambda I -A) = det S det (lambda I -A) det S^{-1} = det (lambda I - S A S^{-1})$.
