I do it a bit differently.  I have created budget scheduled transactions that fire 1st of the month, they transfer money from my checking account to the various 'budget' accounts which are sub accounts of checking.  All of my bills are paid from the budget accounts.

I can see how much money I 'really' have in checking by simply looking at the chart of accounts (as the parent includes subs).  I can see how much money is unencumbered by budget by looking at the actual checking account ledger, kinda what you're looking for perhaps not as precise though.
